Hello there I'm having some legal issues with knowing what can and can't be done with electronic instruments. a Major Electronic Instrument Manufacturer has pulled my sample cds claiming copyright infringement cause I made drum and synth samples using there drum and synth modules even though I did not sample any waveforms to tape. I had it run through a $10,000 recording chain prior to any recording plus tons of post processing they still claim that since any part of the sound was used to create the samples I am violating there copyright how is that possible? that they own every sonic possibility known to man cause I used a sound from their drum and or synth brain prior to recording? if this is true and legal then according to this manufacture there should be zero samples or loop cds for that matter that uses any electronic instruments cause any sound created by such instruments is an infringement of copyright that is not used in a musical work. what are my rights concerning this? I see hundreds of companies that sell sample and loop collections of electronic sounds and synths everyday and they make huge amounts of money Sony Acid Big Fish Audio Computer Music Musictech Future Music etc. but I've made less then 400 dollars and they shut me down any help concerning this would be appreciated thank you.
