    Not true at all, unless you define "original" in such a way that it means no original work has ever been created, which would just make it meaningless instead.

    Successful creators often get sued by less successful opportunists, though, but that's got more to do with the U.S. legal system being played like the lottery.

    Yeah, that's what I meant. George Harrison wrote and performed "My Sweet Lord" and then lost a million-dollar lawsuit over it. How do I either A. prevent myself from accidentally sampling an existing work or B. minimize the damage if I do end up accidentally sampling an existing work?

    How do you "accidentally" sample something ? It's like saying "I accidentally ate a cake", or "I accidentally drove to work".

    You either sample, or you don't ... there's no "accidentally' about it.
