License transfer?

[aallvor]

Can the esoundz sample packs from the recent ik group buy be transfered?

Or, can I only transfer the ST plugin and it's libraries?

Squids has posted elsewhere (Market Place mostly, IIRC) that the SR sample sets are not transferable. This is common amongst companies that sell samples, due to the nature of the product offered.

Last time I downloaded on downloadablesoundz.com, I was presented with the following license with which the buyer needs to agree to proceed:

LICENSE AGREEMENT

In short, you may use these sounds freely as long as you use them in a musical
context for records, re-mixes, film or TV soundtracks, commercials and the like. They may not appear as free-standing sounds in a music or sound effects library or compilation. Licensing for computer games, DLS sets or multimedia is NOT covered by this agreement. Contact Sonic Reality for more information.

IMPORTANT

DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT.
BY USING THIS PRODUCT (OR AUTHORIZING ANY OTHER PERSON TO DO SO) YOU ACCEPT THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT.

LICENSE AND PROTECTION

1. License Grant. Sonic Reality grants to you, subject to the following terms and conditions, a non-exclusive, nontransferable right to use each authorized copy of the enclosed product. The enclosed product's sound content is the property of Sonic Reality and is licensed to you only for use as part of a musical performance, live or recorded. This license expressly forbids resale or other distribution of these Sounds or their derivatives, either as they exist on disc, reformatted for use in another digital sampler, or mixed, combined, filtered, resynthesized or otherwise edited, for use as sounds, multisounds, samples, multisamples, wavetables, programs or patches in a sampler, microchip or any hardware or software sample playback device. You cannot sell them or give them away for use by others in their sampling or sample playback devices. In the event Sonic Reality terminates this Agreement due to your breach, you agree to return the original and all other copies of the software and documentation to Sonic Reality, Inc. Sonic Reality, Inc. reserves all rights not expressly granted to you.

2. Protection of Software. You agree to take all reasonable steps to protect this product and any accompanying documentation from unauthorized copying or use. You agree not to modify the enclosed product to circumvent any method or means adopted or implemented by Sonic Reality to protect against or discourage the unlicensed use of copying of the enclosed product.

3. Ownership. As between you and Sonic Reality, ownership of, and title to, the enclosed digitally recorded sounds (including any copies) will be held by Sonic Reality, Inc. Copies are provided to you only to enable you to exercise your rights under the license. Only this license is purchased by you.

4. Term. This Agreement is effective from the date you open this package, and will remain in full force until termination. This Agreement will terminate if you break any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement. Upon termination you agree to destroy and return to Sonic Reality all copies of this product and accompanying documentation.

5. Restrictions. Except as expressly authorized in this Agreement, you may not
rent, sell, lease, sublicense, distribute, transfer, copy, reproduce, display,
modify or time share the enclosed product or documentation.

Point 5 is what would cover transfer. There should be a similar agreement (if not the same) for all their sample sets. Thanks!

Ok, thanks.

No problem. Added the license agreement from downloadablesoundz.com and Squids will correct, etc, if he sees fit as I've requested. Hope that helps others too.
