EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

The obvious difference between your 1st example (FileMaker) and the 
2nd (EXS) is that in the first you are not (instantly) re-using the 
samples to 
create/ output sound and music, while in the 2nd example you do, so 
in the latter case there is unfair competition with the YT-product.

In a more broader sense I feel this whole sample rights discussion  
is comparable to what happens to all companies distributing digital 
media. 

The whole business/client depends on two fundamental questions: 
1/ is the company involved making a reasonable bussiness model from 
their products, despite the illegal distribution?
2/ are their enough clients willing to legally buy products, given 
the relatively high availability of illegal version of products. The 
reasons to legally buy products have to with quality, services and 
upgrade paths.

If both questions can be answered by 'yes' than products will be 
available, although the companies involved should invest a certain 
amount of time and money in *repressing* illegal distribution. But 
that should always be a side line activity.
