Steve sent this to me (probably meant for the list - you can't just
hit <reply> )
What if he sells his original software and buys other
peoples
original software? Would that be considered illegal? I ask because
people buy pre-owend music CDs all the time on half.com etc.
It depends on each library. For example, Spectrasonics states:
The licence to use this product is granted for a single user only.
You cannot resell
Metamorphosis as a used product to someone else because this is a
non-transferable license. You cannot electronically transfer or post
these samples
to another person or group of persons over the Internet or place them in a
computer/sampler network to be accessed by multiple users.
In other words, you don't buy the software, or even the samples
themselves. You purchase a licence for yourself only to use the
product.
It can therefore never be re-sold.
