Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

I think there is no problem if you made the sample youself eg by
sampling a synth or an analog drumcomputer. However, when you copy
samples from a sample cd, you may create a problem when you distribute it.
I prefer that we do not distribute copyrighted samples which are
copied from a sample cd, even not for a month. There are enough
sources where we can get public domain samples eg for drums etc...
It might be even an idea to create a kind of repository for copyright
free samples for the S1000. 

However, I cannot prevent you from sending floppy images by email to
someone else if that is part of a creative process.
