I’m going to ignore for a moment the question of how “that won’t change a lot” – people will be able to steal demo content even when it’s not there? That aside, there are two odd things about this story:ġ.

The difference here is that this time it was stolen from a user that made it big. Our demo material has been stolen 1000s of times in the more than 10 years we have been doing this. We’ll remove all melodic loops from FL Studio to avoid this kind of stuff in the future but that won’t change a lot I’m afraid. Managing Director Jean-Marie Cannie told that site: FL Studio developer Image-Line has not responded to a CDM request for comment, but they did talk to.

The FL Studio community was rocked earlier this month as producer Deadmau5 claimed the use of his samples was “stealing,” even though these samples were bundled with the software and assumed by most to be licensed royalty-free. Deadmau5 roars, and FL drops all melodic content? Hey, whatever – FL users stay loyal to their app and it’s now BYO sample time.
