EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hello again!

Sorry to bother to much with this issue but the more I dig into it the 
fuzzier it gets.

Well not even a trade of original is legal???

That seems pretty stupid actually!

If I buy a PC game and want to sell it there is nothing illegal about that 
so what\ufffds the difference in selling a PC game original or a Sample CD 
original??

Best regards,

Alvaro.
