I think Sascha makes some interesting points about sample piracy. I know a guy who has so many ripped off sample cds and software programs, he couldn't possibly use them all in his lifetime, yet every day it seems, he is downloading more and more. I know others who do the same with movies or cds. It quite resembles a drug addiction and is also like a squirrel gathering nuts, except not even stopping to eat any of them! I never bought the RIAA and record company line about the large net losses incured from piracy, but I wonder about how I would feel if my own music, sound designs, patches, or samples I created were readily available for free to folks who may not even listen to them or do any thing creative with them. Just a thought or two.
