Another grey area... am I renting the library to them (I am not renting the
mixer or hiring it out for them to take away) ... I am (was) charging them a
price for using my facilities and *I* happen to think that this includes the
client being able to avail themselves of the facilities I have to offer
whether it's stunning monitoring, a great desk, more tracks than the
competition, more *experience* than the competition... whatever... inc. the
creative possibilities available at my studio be it a particular synth or a
particular keyboard or...

A particular library, a commodity that the client cannot justify buying
(much like he couldn't justify buying, say, a Mellotron) for just one track.

Hmmmm.... Contentious!

It could be argued that library developers are making it more complicated
than it really is with ever more stringent copyright and licencing
stipulations - the very fact that this discussion is taking place is (I
think) a testament to the confusion that exists amongst users who have
shelled out good $$$ for some library but are not (quite) sure how and where
they can use it in certain circumstances.
