Depends on the context. They give away free samples every week/month, i cannot remember. If you want to use one of the artists work, you best get permission out of politeness if possible, since they are all in the same boat as us, tho most of them are years ahead of me. If you try to get permission and get actually no reply, use it and credit them, but be prepared to have to withdraw your work.

The free samples are called 8-packs. They're completely lucky dip on whether you like them or not, but they are good to learn how to use acid at a basic level. Its like a jigsaw for sound basically, but theres more than one end result :)

Ah ok. Well if you use them credit the artists and/or Sony.

samples are ok, but loops are stupid.

if you just take a bunch of loops other people made and make something out of it its only 20% yours, and anyone can do that.

Not straightaway. The loops are mostly to help people learn to use the programme as far as i can tell. And also to try crossovers of different styles, to see if they like it.
What is your objection to pre made loops? Do you wish they'd never existed?

This is how the executive part of the creative works go in, there are freelance artists who give loops and samples, pay-sites, and those who are giving out loops and samples for credit and stuff.

You work it out with the artist making the samples, most of the time it's free, so you just give recognition if you feel like it. In the matter of owning parts of a song because it's an artists loop, that should be clarified before you get the loop itself.

Don't worry, from your post, you're in the clear.

Oh, and for the transitioning-into-different-styles techniques, I highly recommend it to any downtempo artist; it's taking a song and making it transition into a different style, but still in context with the original song idea.

DJ Shadow, RJ2D, The Dust Brothers and The Chemical Brothers defined this method.

He's not too bad, his version of rape me was hysterical.

He does lounge versions of popular music. I've never heard a funnier sacrilege than Enter Sandman by metallica done in a jazz style.
