Most sampling wouldn't be considered "covers" though. Sampling is born of deejaying culture and it reflects the ideal of using what's at hand to create something new. Basically, a good producer will either put things together that never would have been, or an artist/producer may enjoy a particular piece of music so much that they want to perform their take on it. Basically a cover, but a bit different because it does involve writing a lot of original material.
Also, it's not "stealing" anything because everybody knows it's a sample.
