Samples are legally covered under the Sound Recording "SR" 
copyright laws, and software is not. Samples and sample-based 
products are covered the same way as music, so that's why 
software copyright analogies are misinformed.

Check out the legal basis for licensing sound recordings and 
you'll see that there is decades of case law supporting this in 
court. Software is a whole other legal animal.
