Dont use FL Studio loops!
Well, I wouldnt go that far actually
but definitely embarassing and stupid move by fruity, for sure, not to mention how they have handled this issue.
My main gripe with fruity is that the main developer refuses to implement automatic plugin delay compensation on purpose, (seems like he still believes that plugins that introduce delay are badly coded and therefore shouldnt be used at all). Despite all this, fruity provides a pretty useable and powerful piece of sw IMO...
Yeah Ive heard good things about the FL software itself.
Perhaps an addendum to that quote should be 'Dont use FL Studio Loops if you plan to release a track containing them into the public domain' (at least until its clear exactly what is & isnt royalty free) otherwise anyone who does runs the same risk as this guy & now he faces legal action!
From a legal point of view though I'd of thought that its up to the manufacturer to make it clear & precise to avoid this kind of thing happening & if it isnt a clear area which appears the case then I cant really see Imageline getting too much success through the legal route!
