If you're not using samples to make music that you're going to sell then you can do whatever you want. If you want to sell your music in some fashion then you have to get permission from the copyright owner one way or another (ie. you purchased a package of samples, you contacted whoever owns the publishing rights and set up a deal with them, etc.).
