the fact of the matter is that these original recordings have copyrights, and using them requires the owner of the copyright to be compensated..

so the answer your question.....No, they can't be treated like session musician because doing so would be against the law.

and I honestly don't view doing so as any sort of higher level outside the box thinking ..because it's basiclly saying "Why shouldn't I be allowed to violate the law to make it seem like what I'm doing is more original than it really is, and I can get compensated as if it's more original than it is"
