Sir, might I enquire as to why you didn't _ask_ Linnplug for their
express permision to use their sounds outwith the context of a 
Linnplug product? Isn't the onus to verify such use put upon _you_, 
as the one who wants to make such use? Are you not aware that to _not_ 
take such steps to ensure the legality of use/abuse of content that
you leave yourself open to the possibility of criminal activity?
