I don't think they're going to go after someone unless that someone is making a profit off the sampled artist's work.
There is a strong possibility that I will at some point try to sell the music I mentioned, and I don't know if I would say processed beyond recognition. But it's just a segment.. probably less than ten seconds long.
It might not really be enough of a sample for anyone to quibble about, but you never know.
