Yes. You are allowed to use the first 11 pitches of any line or chord structure. If you use the 12th pitch or chord, it's plagiarism.

Depends on how it's re-mixed / sampled.
Most music is mixed from royalty-free samples.
Take, for example, Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado / Timbaland.
The lyrics may be Copyrighted but not the music.
That's because the music is assembled from royalty-free samples.
As long as the lyrics are not present, you'll be ok.

yes , exsample. take the Queen song CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE.
A man by the name of dwight yokum did as a country song here in the STATES. He did it i think in another key and a little faster , he still has to pay Queen for the use of the song. NOW you can still copywrite your version but you have to give credit to who orginaly wrote it

Most songs have a copywrite, good for, I think, 25 years, before you can ripoff legally.

If the lyrics remain the same, then i think it's illegal. But if you change the lyrics and the pitch of a song, then i think it's fine.

If you don't have the copyright, or permission from the one who does, it is.
