Re: Adobe Audition Content Download

Question

I was instructed to post my question here by the Adobe telephone Customer Support:
I have recently purchased Audition CS6.
This provided me with downloadable music and effects through adobe.com, "Adobe Audition Content Download"  (Which referrs to "loopology" in the html address..)
the site is:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=auditionloopology
Adobe Telephone Customer Support has informed me that this audio collection IS royalty-free and attribution-free. 
What they were not able to answer was this:
Additionally, does this collection have a Cue Sheet requirement or any other legal restrictions for use in the broadcast arena?
The EULA link for this collection points to a page that referrs to the entire Adobe product family.  I could not find legal information pertaining to this particular service anywhere on that page.
Thanks, in advance, for your help!

I think you'll find that 'attribution free' means exactly that - and we've always regarded it that way. I know the originator of some of it, and he has effectively waived all rights to what he did, so we are presuming that the same thing applies to all of it. This means that effectively, there are no broadcast restrictions, and no cue sheet requirements - although you might want to attribute the collection, just to stop questions, I suppose. I read through the Software Licence agreement, and the part of this that appears to be relevant is this:
2.3 Content Files. Unless stated otherwise in the “Read-Me” files, Documentation, or other license(s) associated with the Content Files, Customer may use, display, modify, reproduce, and distribute any of the Content Files. However, Customer may not distribute the Content Files on a stand-alone basis (i.e., in circumstances in which the Content Files constitute the primary value of the product being distributed), and Customer may not claim any trademark rights in the Content Files or derivative works thereof. Nothing stated herein shall affect the ownership of the Software as stated in Section 3.
So, if the read-me's don't say otherwise, you're good to go doing nothing!
