Dear Supporters,

Thank you for signing and supporting the Transformative Sampling Act. Your belief in this initiative is a testament to how much we all value creativity, fairness, and innovation in music.

This update is to clarify an important point:

This Act does not replace the traditional sample clearance process.

Instead, it provides an additional pathway specifically for transformative works—when recordings are reimagined into something entirely new. Traditional sample clearance remains essential for works that closely replicate the original, but this Act is about creating a fair and transparent system for transformative sampling through a compulsory licensing system.

Here’s what it achieves:

 • Fair Compensation: Rights holders are always acknowledged and compensated.

 • Legal Clarity: Transformative sample producers gain a clear process to protect their works.

 • Balanced Innovation: This Act honors the legacy of original creators while fostering creativity for the next generation.

Please help us keep this momentum going by:

 1. Sharing the petition with your networks.

 2. Encouraging others to join this movement for change.

Thank you again for your support!

Respectfully,

Kaire ‘KaiChopSki’ Neal
