EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi Alvaro,

We are a third party developer and you need to know that this is definitely 
against the law to swap or resell sample libraries. Basically it works this 
way:

The purchase price of a sample library is a single user license to use the 
samples to use in their music. The license allows the customer to use the 
samples (our recordings) in their musical recordings. Anyone who hasn't 
purchased the disc, doesn't have a license to use the sounds and is then 
using the samples illegally. This risks legal action being taken against both 
them and their clients....not a good thing at all.

The confusion for most people arises because people don't quite grasp that 
what you are purchasing isn't the phisical disc, as much as the legal right 
to use the samples.

If you would like to research this issue more, I would encourage you to read 
the Sound Recording Copyright Act, which is much more "black and white" than 
most people realize.

Hope that helps clarify the issue, and why what you are suggesting could get 
you and anyone else involved in this into a lot of trouble....it's best all 
the way around to avoid this.

Best regards,

Eric Persing
