if you're looking for justification (especially from other musicians) in your creative methods then you're making music for the wrong purposes IMO. if you love reason make music in reason, lots of people do it

Question, are you still breaching copywrong if you use uncleared samples or cover a song, but don't use it for commercial use? say if i throw up a youtube video of a cover song or remix, am i technically liable to get sued?
Though the chances of a full lawsuit are lesser than cease and desists or media, my understanding is that unlicensed samples are still breaching copyright and illegal. I support the use of sampling but also recognize that using uncleared samples comes with a legal risk. The extent and likelihood of that risk being a reality though really depends on many things including your draw, the outreach of the sample, and how seriously the publisher/artist of the original material takes their copyright laws regarding the original material.
It's important to note though that covers/remixes are completely different copyright realms, too. When buying a mechanical license you're concerning the melody and arrangement, not the original recording, so you now are permissed to mechanically recreate the song. Meaning, no source material is used. If you want to use the original recording, you'd have to clear the sample of it. Maybe someone else on here can confirm/deny.
Say Cutman, does the license you got ever like, expire? Is it limited to a number of downloads? We talked a bit about this before, but I feel this could be relevant material for all interested on this forum!

Yeah I mean, I assure you all we wouldn't even attempt to do a thing like this if we didn't at least try to keep it somewhat legitimate. I pulled my Battles cover mp3 off the internet for that same reason. 
(though maybe I should invest in a license for that now that I learned about it?)

That's actually a really good question...
He bought a mechanical license for it and is charging to cover the cost of that, then switch it to free.
If charging for that isn't allowed in the license (which I have no idea, tbh), then we should definitely pull it, Cutman!
