Most art is a derivative work. The foundation that a work relies on - be it a song, painting, short story, etc. - is a body of knowledge that provides us with reference. The artist ultimately provides the context.
Nate Harrison provides a short history of works derived from the amen break and does an excellent job of placing it in the framework of copyright law and culture. Fascinating stuff!
