With respect TTG, that is NOT the point Diki is trying to flog here.
In essence, he is saying that if James makes his OWN samples he is not able to sell them or give them away, because he sampled a soundwave.
Where the soundwave came from, is beside the point.
I DO agree that if, say, I bought James' samples, and then gave THEM away, THAT is where the copyright would be breached.
Yes Diki gave examples.
But the underlying concept of Diki’s point is that some one put in hard work and lots of mony to create an instrument.
Some one now samples just the sound of that instrument. sampling the original instrument would stop the original instrument maker from producing that instrument.
Whether they (the new sample maker) gives it away or sell the new samples is irelivant. The original instrument maker, if they continue with their business model, could lose sales and revenue.
The effect would be the same whether the original instrument maker is the T3 or Rhodes IMO.
