Well, to me it's just obvious that trading sample CDs isn't legal at all.
Imagine there would be only one single person buying a CD and then he/she
would immediately copy it and spread it all over the world through the
internet (due to fast connections it's not even required to mp3 the
contents) - certainly in a few weeks all the sample CD companies would be
bankrupt.

Of course (if I'm informed correctly) you are allowed to sell or give away
your CDs, but again it's obvious to me that after this you aren't allowed to
use the material any longer by yourself.

I do however think that in these days of format converters and such it's
pretty hard to prove all that illegal trading and whatever - in the end I
guess that sample CD companies are allready having a hard time (at least the
smaller ones).
So we shouldn't start supporting things like that on this list at all as we
should really be happy for the company people being around here.

One question pops up though:
Let's assume I'm doing a remix and there's one single loop in the material
I'm getting, coming from a commercial sample CD. In order to use that single
loop in the remix, will I have to buy the complete CD just because of that?
