The other would be to include an explicit license prohibiting certain kinds of use вЂ“ IвЂ™m no fan of legalese, but then theyвЂ™d be legally covered. One would be to label what they call вЂњdemo materialвЂќ so that itвЂ™s clear itвЂ™s not supposed to be used. If we give Image-Line the benefit of the doubt, there are two ways they could have avoided trouble. LetвЂ™s go back in time to the samples themselves, before the user Dirtењњircuit produced a song with these samples and before Deadmau5вЂ™s response. Many users are nonetheless responding вЂњgood riddanceвЂќ to the loss of sample content.вЂќ For a lot of people, the bigger question here really is artistic, and maybe itвЂ™s time for computer musicians to draw a line. No one is angry enough to dump FL, because itвЂ™s an excellent tool, but I sure hope Image-Line learns from the experience.Дў.

Image-Line seems to helped create the problem by shipping sample content in software without being clear which license covered that content and which is which, then responded with the inexplicable argument that that sample content was supposed to be for вЂњdemoвЂќ purposes only (with nothing that I can see to back up that statement, and evidence that precisely the opposite was the case).

IвЂ™m going to ignore for a moment the question of how вЂњthat wonвЂ™t change a lotвЂќ вЂ“ people will be able to steal demo content even when itвЂ™s not there? That aside, there are two odd things about this story:ДЎ. The difference here is that this time it was stolen from a user that made it big. Our demo material has been stolen 1000s of times in the more than 10 years we have been doing this. WeвЂ™ll remove all melodic loops from FL Studio to avoid this kind of stuff in the future but that wonвЂ™t change a lot IвЂ™m afraid. Managing Director Jean-Marie Cannie told that site: FL Studio developer Image-Line has not responded to a CDM request for comment, but they did talk to. The FL Studio community was rocked earlier this month as producer Deadmau5 claimed the use of his samples was вЂњstealing,вЂќ even though these samples were bundled with the software and assumed by most to be licensed royalty-free. Deadmau5 roars, and FL drops all melodic content? Hey, whatever вЂ“ FL users stay loyal to their app and itвЂ™s now BYO sample time.
