I clearly understand what you mean, but until now it allways seemed to be
that people were mature enough not letting any illegal things happening
here.
For myself, I allways am careful with the sounds I share, most of them I did
completely by my own while others were (or better: they still are) available
on some sites that I don't expect to do illegal sharing - such as
analoguesamples.com which has been an incredible source for me and the
Zoolab page. You may have noticed that I didn't even include the samples in
my patches, with some analoguesamples.com patches this unfortunately isn't
possible because many require some massive tweaking. Also, as soon as I use
them I will a) keep the original disclaimer intact and I will of course only
use those that they allow to use - which, for analoguesamples.com, is true
for all their patches.

Honestly, I don't see this to happen. And if that was the case, I wouldn't
take part in it either.

That's a good idea.
