When rapper 2 Chainz decided to sample Tom Lehrer’s “The Old Dope Peddler” for his song “Dope Peddler”, he got this response:
“As sole copyright owner of 'The Old Dope Peddler', I grant you motherfuckers permission to do this. Please give my regards to Mr. Chainz, or may I call him 2?"
He no longer has to make such letters, because, as of November 2022, he’s released his entire back catalogue into the public domain. He’s in his 90s, and evidently has neither kids nor a wife, so I guess his decision makes sense.
