Creating Production Libraries for Television : Sample CD's Legal to Use?
I'm trying to put together a production library for a TV network and sussing out some legal stuff.
Just wondering if anyone knows if making a library of music/jingles (15/30 secs) that consists of samples from legally aquired Sample CDs is kosher or not. I'm sure it depends on which libraries are used, but most of them say something along the lines of "Ok to use for multimedia, tv, film..." yet they also say "may not be used to be sold as part of sample library/music library".
Seems to me you can make music that is sold to a station TV, but can't make a bunch of jingles using Sample CDs and license them out. Is this correct? Anyone have any input to share? What about if someone were hired by the company to 'compose' jingles using libraries, surely that is ok...? Is there any difference between using individual drum hits and using construction kits?
Thanks in advance. I know I should prob talk to a lawyer and email the companies (nobody responds!), but thought someone on here would have some info to at least clarify in the meantime.
Thanks in advance,
Majool
