To me this rulling would invalidate any Form SR filing, wouldn't it.

NWA? Maybe that ruling is obsolete...

Anyway, it's probably not valid outside the US. And if I was NWA I'd appeal to a higher court.

Wait, if I was NWA I'd say "F U , n_gga!!"

i don't know but i don't think you do. You are free to use the intrument sounds in a sound recording but you couldn't just take one sound from the sound module or instrument that you baught and sell that sound for people to use in creating their own music because you don't own that sound. But when someone like sony makes loop or sample cds ain't they violating companies that makes the instruments they used to create those loop or sample CD with?

Is any body an expert on this.

Because the way I see it Record Companies wouldn't be able to sue anyone for sampling on the bases of Form SR. Now, Form PA would be a deferrent story because Form PA copyrights that perfomince and arangement of sounds, wich is usually owned by the publisher.
