That brings up a good question - if I buy a sample CD

later I try to contact the copyright owner and they are out of business, and
I make a good faith effort to find out who if anyone owns these rights but I
can't find anything, can I not distribute these samples for free to other
users? You may even have the right to sell them to anyone who wants to buy
them from you, but I assume that's not what you are trying to do.
Nope. What is someones, stays someones. I think the legal provident
of this is 70 years for public domain, but I don't really know.
