Ok. Now I have a serious question. Its not an issue for me, but I see a hole
in the system (trust a software engineer to find the bugs)

Scenario A : Say I have an Ilio sample CD (I dont as I cant afford 'em as Im
a hobbyist sadly :-( ) which has drums on it. Now I use that to create the
drums in a track I produce. I can legally sell my audio recording under the
sample CD licence. OK. Thats the simple bit. Now some enterprising young
chap samples my release and thieves a drum loop. As its a sparse loop
(s)he's recycled out some individual hits as well as the drum loop I
programmed. I get onto the PRS and get royalties for the use of my sample,
but they are using the Ilio samples without licence even though they got
them from my music. How do you work out such a situation?

Scenario B : I'm a cheeky git trying to work the system. I record all the
samples individually, dry, and spaced by a few seconds on an audio CD and
call it my 'work' and distribute as such. 'Use' in 'work' is allowed under
the licence, but this is blatantly a way to try and get around it as I have
copyright of the recording. Why couldnt one get away with this?

Sorry to play devils advocate, but its in my nature to try and find flaws
with everything!

Best Wishes,

P.S. Can I get a free sample CD for being a nice community spirited guy?
Damn, thought not... ;-)
