No. Look at the End User License Agreements that come with your package.
Most all producers including Spectrasonics and ILIO prohibit you from
selling our CDs. The reason is, you only buy the license, not the disc.
If you purchased the library from an authorized seller, you have the
right to use the sounds in your music (as many times as you want), but
only the producer has the right to sell them in the first place. It makes
sense. Otherwise, we developers would have gone out of business a long
time ago! It really comes down to rewarding the people who make the
sounds to begin with, which is only fair.

Anyway, when in doubt, read the license agreement!

that's very interesting mark, and thank you to take a part of the discussion
:o) I've just finish myself a SOund CD that's why I'm playing the "evil "
part of the discussion...

you said : " No. Look at the End User License Agreements that come with your
package. "
I can write myself a lot of things on a CD :o) like " you can hear it 1893
times only "
I mean, is it because it is written on the CD that justify the right to sell
or not the CD ? what is the regular law about it ?

you said : " Most all producers including Spectrasonics and ILIO prohibit
you from
selling our CDs. "

Ok, I understand that it is better for "you" to prohibit the resell, but is
it fair ?
In that direction, u can prohibit to "smoke " near the Cd ? or to sing on
the sound for money in a Bar ?( that can be really strange ! :o)

you said : "The reason is, you only buy the license, not the disc. "
ok, so I can give it for free, I mean the CD ?

you said :" If you purchased the library from an authorized seller, you have
the
right to use the sounds in your music (as many times as you want), but
only the producer has the right to sell them in the first place. "

So , it is better to sell CD to producer. Because I have a license but my
producer ( the man who sell "MY" record) doesn't have any License...
SONY Music who sell my last record and produce it don't  have any License.
What is the situation ????

you said : "Otherwise, we developers would have gone out of business a long
time ago! "

not true, because users/people are honest and they understand that they need
you to produce sounds , it can take too much time for a composer to create
his own soundBank.

ok, I push the thinking a little far, no ;o)
I always encourage people to listen and buy CD, it is SO important that you
( sound designers/developpers) bring us ( Composer/programers) sounds !
