Hi Julien!
I'm afraid that my mail includes not a definite answer, but the english
wikipedia page on sampling includes a lot of information about the legal
conflicts that this topic brings up:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_%28music%29#Legal_issues
It includes a case where the sampling of 3 notes was considered to be a
problem, even though this decision was widely criticized. Other samples
(like a short sample of a flute) were not seen as a infringement.From my
point of view the legal situation is very unclear :)
