I would say dialogue is a no-no.
Abstract sounds and fx you could probably get away with.
If a record hits the charts or receives significant airplay, you'd better have your samples cleared.
If it's going to be played in a handful of clubs, you'll probably get away with it.
In the end, I think most artists are moving away from using so much ripped audio.
