I just rewatched the original Blade Runner and noticed that in one of the
scenes where the police sirens are heard (starts roughly at 01:26:30) is the
exact same sound as the sirens from the track 08 - Velveteen of GITS:SAC
soundtrack.

It's pretty much common knowledge that Ghost in the Shell universe and
aesthetic was inspired in a large part by the previous works in sci-fi genre,
Blade Runner especially. Is there any trivia about this specific sample being
included into the track? As far as I know, clearing legal right for using
audio clips from copyrighted works (like songs and movies) takes a lot of
work. Was there any notable publicity about this?

Here's a video of the moment in the movie matched up with the track:

What's the story behind the intro of GITS:SAC soundtrack 08 - Velveteen borrowing a sample from Blade Runner (1982)?
