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.

Interesting. I never thought about it like that.
Looks like you cant give them away or sell them.
But I wonder if you can WILL them to your beneficiaries???? :)

Hmmmm...? If you die of old age, there won't even be hardware to run
them on anymore, unless you work in a tech museum. :-D

Some companies developed license statements which do not
match with local laws or maybe even world wide human rights.
One of those questionable statements is "no right to resell".
In Germany you may find companies trading used software, and
nothing else.
There had been a quite complicated article in one of the
computer magazines on the legal situation doing so.
Overregulation may stop live.

This is my private opinion, nothing else.

This is certainly an interesting topic. There is however perhaps some
difference between software and samples. Samples are in fact audio
recordings and are therefore protected by International Copyright
Law, the Berne Convention, etc. I don't have time now but one could
look at CISAC's website or BIEM for info on this....
