I already knew that The Verve had lost all their royalties for 'Bitter Sweet Symphony', on account of them taking a sample of a riff and incorporating that into their song. I thought it unjust that they lost ALL their royalties, as they built something amazing on top of the original riff, and if they hadn't done it, then the original composers - The Stones - wouldn't have earned an extra penny in any case.

But it's been resolved after all these years thankfully https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48380600

Surely if someone samples a bit of your work, then builds on top of that, then royalties should be shared? What do you reckon?

This is a good example of “always get permission and a written agreement first”

I am glad common sense has prevailed though as I completely agree with what you have said @MichaelA
