What's the legality of releasing on Splice a loop made using a Spitfire library? Does everything have to be made using free and stock libraries? What if the instrument has been changed or distorted?
Grey area.
You are not allowed to use a dev's sample content to make another sample library - I think that's clear to everyone.
But a Splice pack? I am sure the devs would all argue no, but is it really no?
You are allowed to use a dev's sample content to make a musical composition, that can be sold to a TV Production Co., to an ad agency, to a film maker, etc. But you are disallowed from selling that musical composition to another composer? Not sure how much sense that makes, or if that's even legal.
Selling something that people can put in their DAWS and use as an instrument becomes apparently a competition with the original sample maker... I assume, based on their nervousness about it.
Yes - that's a pretty good argument the other way. Which is why I say it's a grey area. I don't think that this sit. has ever seen the inside of a courtroom, has it?
Oh, and I don't understand what unless they sample it against copyright means
Can I use these samples to make "Music Libraries"?
YES, unlike some soundware companies, this is fully allowed with all of our products. The sounds have to be used within a musical context, however, and cannot be presented isolated or "solo'ed".
It's illegal
As already pointed out, not necessarily.

This is certainly admirable to see from a company, and I admit I'm more likely to spend money on VSL than other companies because of it. Just so I'm not mistaken, does "music library" mean the same thing as "sample library"? As in, recording VSL sounds, exporting it to a synthesizer and making unique tones from it?
This should be fine as long as you don't violate the 2 rules: musical context and not isolated.
