So the music industry can be pretty darn cut-throat, but it has the occasional bright spot. I'm luckily not speaking from direct experience, but there's this story, about a young electronica artist who wanted to make a song with samples from this obscure 80's soft rock track. The record label who owned the copyright not only refused permission, they threw a couple studio producers in a booth and made their own version. But then the original singer heard about this, and re-recorded the song for the artist to use. Nice story.
Sadly I actually prefer the soulless record label's version.
