[linux-audio-user] The Open Loop Library, a few questions

I think this is a good point. A company which will deal with that 
situation only by lawsuits and demands to shut down the system is 
clearly out to destroy, and nothing you do will stop that goal.

I guess it all depends on the company. Most of the loop-makers and 
sample-makers are small companies, specializing in only their areas. 
Would a company like that be unreasonable, or would they be willing to 
accept that we are doing all we can to keep our library uncorrupted?
