Now apply the same scenario as in the first case. What happens? My guess is that in the real world nothing happens, because there is more to a synthesiser than just a collection of samples. My previous argument was that the obvious intention behind that ruled out a 'fair use' defence, but apparently copyright law doesn't say anything about intention. I still think that the above scenario crosses the 'fair use' line, thugh the jury's still out on whether the samples were copyright in the first place. -- Anahata anahata@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tel: 01638 720444 http://www.treewind.co.uk Mob: 07976 263827
