| What's to keep you from turning around and selling multiple copies of it, for instance on eBay. |

Hey, I'll compress them.
(I know there has to be some safeguards, I'm not the only person to think of this, but I'm wondering how much you have to do before you can sell it legally) |

Well it is highly illegal to re-sell any royalty free sample pack. End of.
When you buy a sample pack you dont own ANY of the samples. You are buying a lisence to use somebody elses work. Just as if you buy a vst softsynth for example. You cant re-sell multiple copies a vst can you. |

Not really the same thing.
You could make samples from that synth and sell those though.
What the threadstarter asked was how much do you have to do with the sample before you can sell them? Could you just take a loop from a sample pack, repeat it for a minute and then sell it as a track, without doing anything with it? I mean, legally? |

| If you can sell a track using royalty free samples, why couldnt you sell the samples ? |

why? because those grounds are typically covered in the licence agreement that comes with the sample cd.
You've got: A licence to use a sample in your own production and you:
- sell your production.
- Sell the sample.
Come on, it's not like these two are indistinguishable.

| What's the thresh hold though? Legally? That contract would not hold up in court. The terms used in it are too subjective. Not only that, but it's highly possible it would be an international lawsuit if filed, which just makes it even harder on the person filing the suit. |

How would you abuse the parts of the contract that you consider too subjective? How would you exploit it so to say? I think it's pretty clear myself.
This sort of license is common in this industry. If it wouldn't hold up well, the businesses whose entire business depends on it would hire better lawyers. |

I've read the link, and it seems to me that whenever I use it to make a song with someone else, they also have to own the licence. In other words, if I use a vocalist in a song I produced, and the vocalist recieves royalties, he/she has to own the license as well.
Am I right? :S Cause that seems f**ked. |
