Samples and Copyright

I just searched this sub forum and couldn't find any thing about copyright infringement with regards to samples used in a listening test. Is sharing short samples of copyrighted material for listening tests illegal?

Users found in violation of this rule will be subject to immediate punishment. Fair use of short music clips (under 30 seconds) for codec testing purposes is allowed.

Discussions about illegal filesharing sites/forums and ripping groups are not wanted here and can lead to a warning or worse.

I don't think the RIAA will arrest you for a 30 second clip---unless that clip was obtained illegally and has an acoustic fingerprint.
