Hello

I did a little search around the net and couldn't find any info of a sample
CD/DVD making company sueing an user that did not own the license and
original CDs and used the sample on a "commercialized" track.

For example Spectrasonic sounds are used everywhere and i have doubts that
every user own a license. Wouldn't it be too much job for them to track down
every illegal user ?

I was wondering if anybody on this newsgroup knows somebody who got into
troubles using samples he didn't own legally ?

(i'm specifically talking about sample cds company, not sampling someone
else music, even if i guess it's pretty much the same)

any info appreciated

when you buy a sample CD the purchase price includes a lifetime
licensing fee.

I think the original poster was basically asking if he could get away
with using bootleg versions of those sample CDs.

I think he's talking about if you DON'T purchase the CD...like you
download the samples off P2P or burn a copy of the CD from a friend or
obtain them through some other illegal channels. For example, is Bob
Clearmountain really gunna find out, and then be able to prove that you
used his drum samples illegally on your CD? Even if he could, would he
bother? Me thinks the answer is no to all three.

OTOH, if he posts his intentions on the internet....

He might get away with musical ones like snare samples, but I know guys
get busted using Brown Bag, Gravity, and other production library
stuff.
