I love this song you guys used as a demo (still wish i knew the name of the original singer) and some hispanic guy, Nello Fiorillo, went and used the music and recorded vocals over it. Is that legal, considering he never wrote the music, and is selling it for money?
Your version---
His version---

Maybe Magix legal could give the legal answer, but I thought that the whole purpose of music maker was to allow you to do exactly what this person has done. Music maker is just a series of recorded loops of various instruments. The user actually organizes and arranges them into into a song. So in a sense the person who did this is really making his own song using a bunch of loops. The promo material certainly positions it as being "your own song'. Just my opinion.
As far as I know... Magix changed the ownership rights with version 17... before that you actually owned what you bought with MMM...
If using a demo track is legal though... I'm not sure...
But let's come to the point here... Nello Fiorillo has other songs on his album and L'amore Spacca il Cuore is the only track where he uses this "technique"... besides that he knows how to sing and makes good music...
...maybe you're just jeaulous that you didn't come up with this idea.
....
But to be honest... we are only users like you... So you will have to ask your question directly to Magix.
P.S.:
btw... this so called "hispanic guy" is from Italy...
Nice answer smartsurf.

1st off i claim ignorance to this persons nationalism, so in that i apologize, But my point is, he used a preset loop of "samples" that was recorded as a demo song. If he is using it now as a song does he own rights? and yes maybe i should contact magix, but its not that big of a deal to me, i just like the original, and wish i knew of the original vocalist, because its one of my favorite tracks on my ipod. I produce my own music from scratch on mm15 premium, and have no desire to use prerecorded loops.

Prerecorded loops are not a bad thing to get a foot into music production. There will be a desire to produce own sounds sooner or later... But no matter how good samples or own MIDI sounds are... if creativity is missing... they are worth nothing...
