Re: [L-OT] Are synth sounds protected by copyright?

2001-07-02 by Bjorn Elfstrom

Yoonchi,

this is an interesting topic, especially these days when storage is cheap
and soft samplers are all around. I'm afraid that I don't know the answer to
your question exactly, but I remember hearing about something a couple of
years ago. Apparently a new entrant on the PC soundcard field wanted to
start competing with the existing big ones. It wanted to compete with
pricing so it ripped the total sound set off of another manufacturer's
(Creative?) card. They ended up being sued big time, but I don't know how
the story finally ended.

Morale? I don't know, but the relevance of your question is at least
confirmed ;-).

cheers,

Bj\ufffdrn Elfstr\ufffdm
