Image Line: No more loops

News
By published

After

last week's controversy

href> regarding unknown renegade DirtyCircuit's unauthorised use of unauthorised royalty-free sample loops (or something), Image Line have now announced that they will no longer provide loops with their popular FL Studio software. Not exactly the best solution to the problem, but probably the fastest one.

It's a shame that this happened at all and could have been so easily avoided. That said, we've all learned a valuable lesson from this experience - always check your samples' source and make sure you've heard of Deadmau5.

Thanks to our sister site
