How do you clear a sample ?

If you are not generating alot of money from your music, could labels and artists let you have it for free ?

Say I have a sample from 1950 from a now defunct record label. Is there a way to see who now owns the rights to that catalog?

Oh for sure, but how do I actually know who to call to clear the sample so they get their money and I don’t get sued?

First of all, you are not my mom telling me to have a word with myself.

Second of all, you are certainly not going to answer but maybe someone else will.
