Hello everyone! I have a very simple (I think) question.
Let's say you own Library A. You use this library (among others) to write a specific song (let's say Song A). Then you publish your song in SoundCloud, iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, BandCamp, etc... Some people even buy your Song A and they enjoy it.
But next year, you decide to sell (license transfer) your Library A. And here comes my question:
- Is Song A still legal, only because when it was created you were the owner of Library A? Can you continue to sell it, like nothing happened?
- Or is it illegal, because it contains a library that you don't own anymore, and so you must delete it immediately from all the above mentioned platforms, and stop selling it?
