EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi Jer,

Maybe this has been answered already, but I can assure you that it is most 
definitely illegal to post samples from any sample-based instrument (hardware 
or software). Roland established the precedent in case law a few years back 
against a French company called "Dream". The Dream case provides the legal 
precedent for protection against resampling a sample-based instrument. 
Sampling a PCM based instrument, and redistributing the samples is asking for 
trouble. I'm sure Wizoo/Steinberg protect their samples as much as other 
manufacturers do. (ie; vigorously).

Hope that helps.
