Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

It's sounding fine except:

>>4. All styles are allowed.

I don't see the reason for this.  We are
not involved in a commercial effort here.
You will be limiting a lot of potential
source material needlessly.   A number
of styles of music are necessarily based
on using "copyright" samples.

Not to get into a religeous war, but I 
just think this is perhaps overly pre-
cautious for 10 guys on the web exchanging
ideas.
