![]() Originally posted by ShadowDancer:The loops that come with the software have a non-commercial use licence. If you want to use ours you have to pay us £200" What they're doing here would be like the makers of Unity, Blender or Game Maker Studio saying "Yes you can use our software to make a commercial game, but only if you use and program your own actions and commands. I know I should have read up on it first, and it's my own fault, but I'm especially pissed off due to the fact that I've spent £71 on something that doesn't install and I can't use the loops in any commercially produced games, even after buying the 'premium' version.Īs it stands the product is a waste of money for me, and I currently can't afford to buy the needed licence. I got the software for making music for games and I wanted to used the loops to make tunes, as, even though I can make and record my own, using the loops is quicker (as I don't have the time to do the programming and record each section of the music myself). But for the loops you buy as packs, not the ones that come with the software, which should be public domain anyway. I think the problem we're overlooking is the fact that 21st century busness models seem to be designed to force people to pay extra for almost anything, including the right to use the things that you've just bought with the software, and should be covered by the licence for the product you just bought.īy all means charge for a licence to use loops in a commercial product or song. You can make money on it as the licence is inclusive in the package. ![]() (like when you buy a backing track to use in a live performance. At least that's the way this sort of software used to be sold and licensed back in the 90's. The main issue seems to be that, with this sort of software, the loops that ship with the product can usually be used in whatever way the user wants, whether that be on a commercial song/product or not, as you've already bought them (and the rights) with the software.
