Use of Apple System Voice for commercial purposes.

I apologise if this is posted in the wrong category (I could see no other alternative however).
My question is:
I'd like to be able to make use of Apple's In-Built Voices for both web content and e-book use (recording samples of phrases and including them with their corresponding written content; I would not be selling the voices as part of a software package -not that I would even know how to).
Any help would be greatly appreciated, or perhaps a point in the right direction to 'free-for-commercial-use' voices elsewhere online as I've had a hard time finding anything, and when I do the terms and conditions seem incomprehensible to me.
Many thanks for your time, Matthew.

Curious question...
If, say, I were to create a smash record that sold a few million copies using just the tools in Garage Band, would that be considered legal?
How is the sample of a voice different from the sample of a drum? Aren't they both tools for an artist to use?
Since I work in the Advertising production business, I can see the day when voice modeling takes the place of real voices, much like samples of instruments have taken the place of real instruments...
I'm no attorney, but I'd bet you could argue a good case that using the voices for commercial purposes would be legal.... that is, if it isn't legal.

  • Can I use Creative Cloud Photography Plan for commercial purpose?

    I own small company and we have some basic use of Photoshop. I am planning to buy creative cloud photography plan. Can I use creative cloud photography plan for commercial purpose?

    By using it for your own profession to be used only by you, you can choose between any option but to get the CC used by your staff or other member of the organisation, Team needs to be used.
    If you are using the retail for your own profession then you get 20GB or 2gb as per the individual plan purchased where as CCT with single seat with provide you access with 100GB of storage space.

  • Using multiple apple id's for different purposes

    We are a family of 4 with numerous devices. Here's the setup we've been using to manage different aspects of our apple life!
    Each of us has an individual apple id, which we use on our individual devices for storage/backup, photo stream, facetime, calendar etc
    We have one apple id, used on all devices for all app store/itunes purchases
    We entered this id on each device with everything turned off except "find my iphone". This way we could be logged into the find my iphone app with one id and be able to see all our devices.
    This has worked really well for us as a family. Well, yesterday my kids updated their phones (one 5 and one 4s) to ios 7. I have not done it yet. It does not seem to allow for the above setup, specifically where "find my iphone" is concerned. When I enter in that specific apple id as an additional icloud account, it doesn't offer the option of find my iphone. My ios 6 device says "only your main account can use photo stream, documents & data, and backup". Their device adds "find my iphone" to this list.
    Does anyone know if this is a specific change apple made, or something that went wrong when initially setting up their updated phones.
    TIA!

    Thanks for your reply. But what I don't understand is, can I no longer have multiple icloud accounts, to be used for different purposes? Like I said, we have been using one apple id/icloud for storage etc and one for find my iphone.

  • FMLE for commercial purposes - allowed? -

    Hallo,
    Is it allowed to use FLASH MEDIA LIVE ENCODER for commercial purposes/streams?
    Are there any special conditions?
    Thank you,
    Matej,

    If the images belong to you or you are using images that you were given permission to use such as public domain images. The other requirement (as far as I know) is photoshop is not the student/teacher version.
    There is an eula on the main web page of Adobe that you can read. Just search for it. Be specific with the search for example eula for lightroom or eula for Photoshop CC 2014.

  • Can i use a font such as Yuppy, Chalkboard which is basically included in iOS  for commercial purpose?

    hi!
    I make a e-book and it will be published on appstore and android market as application.
    I'm wondering about font.
    Can i use a font such as Yuppy, Chalkboard which is basically included in iOS  for commercial purpose like me?
    I bought a mountain lion on appstore.
    I look forward to hearing from apple whether it is lawful or not.
    Have a blessed day~:)

    Strangely, there isn't and end user license on Apple's site regarding iOS. But here's a look at the font agreement section from OS X Mountain Lion:
    E. Fonts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included with the Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however, you may only embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions accompanying the font in question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font Book/Preview/Show Font Info panel.
    So basically, you need to examine the fonts to see if there are notes on usage restrictions or limitations.

  • Using system fonts for commercial printing?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know the licensing rights/usage for using system fonts for commercial printing? If I understand correctly, system fonts that comes from operating system CAN be use because Apple purchase the rights on them and end users that purchase OS can use these fonts freely as long as not we are not redistributing them for profit, etc.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction with official documentation on the subject?
    Thanks!

    Never mind, I found the answer. It's in Apple's OS EULA.
    "E. Fonts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included
    with the Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however,
    you may only embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions
    accompanying the font in question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font
    Book/Preview/Show Font Info panel."

  • Can I legally use for commercial purposes the Photoshop CS6 Extended Student Version?

    Can I legally use for commercial purposes the Photoshop CS6 Extended Student Version or do I have to get the Photoshop CS6 Extended normal (commercial) version? I want to make a game and I'll use things created in Photoshop, like images. And I'll sell this game, so I'll get money with it: it's something commercial. Do I have to get the commercial version for that or can I use a Student's one?
    And can I make what I need to do in a trial version and then pay the license before selling the game or it's obligatory to have the license since the beggining?
    See you!

    You can start work on your game from the moment you download and complete the installation of the Trial version.
    No-one will be standing over you watching what you do or monitoring you remotely or noting when you pay for the software.
    You can buy the software at any time during the Trial period. However, after a maximum 30 days of using the Trial, you will have to pay to keep using the software.
    Other than that, do what you like with the Trial.
    (If you somehow finish the game after 20 days of using the Trial then you can start selling the game even if you have not yet purchased the software.)

  • I want to know if it is legal and acceptable for me to buy the Individual version of Adobe Illustrator and use it for commercial purposes

    Good day, I'm looking to buy the latest Adobe Illustrator. I am an individual / freelancer and I work from a home office. I am based in South Africa. I want to know if it is legal and acceptable for me to buy the Individual version of Adobe Illustrator and sell the illustrations / vectors etc I produce on sites such as RedBubble etc. In other words to use the Individual version as a freelancer for commercial purposes.
    Also why the price difference between the Annual Plan, paid monthly and the Monthly Plan?
    And once I have paid for a year, with whichever plan, is there a continued annual subscription due or am I done paying after a year?

    wendy
    It is perfectly fine to sell what you create with all versions of Illustrator, even the educational one.
    The price difference is because if you commit for a full year you get a better price - kind of like a volume discount.
    If you subscribe, you will have to continue paying each month if you want to continue to use the software. It's a subscription, so you'll need to pay for as long as you want to keep using the software.

  • Can I use cs2 for commercial purposes?

    Hello!
    I've digged whole internet to find official answers, but I couldnt find it. So I want to ask it here, before bad things happened.
    I downloaded CS2 from this website and recieved official keys for installation.
    So the question is: can I use this  CS2 for commercial purposes now? Will I have any problems with the law in case of law audit?
    Can I recieve clear and understandable official answer for russian audience? Then I will share ADOBE's answer.
    Thank you!

    Unless you purchased CS2 you have no legal right to download and use CS2.
    Those downloads and serial numbers are supplied for those with legitimate
    licenses because of the shutdown of the activation servers.

  • Can i use FMS developer version for commercial purpose

    HI,
    Can I use flash media server4 developer version for commercial, if some one have knowledge about scope of the developer version then, please help me.
    Thanks
    Ram

    If you refer to EULA of FMS you will see below text corresponding to Developer License:
    .1.              Software  License.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Adobe grants to  Licensee a perpetual (except as set forth in Section 15) non-exclusive  license to install the Software on one (1) Computer  or Virtual Server and use  the Software delivered hereunder according to the terms and conditions of  this Agreement and the Documentation.  Unless indicated otherwise by the License  Key (as defined below) provided to Licensee, Licensee shall be deemed to have  licensed the Development Server. If Licensee has  licensed a Trial Version, in which case Section 2.2 applies, or if Licensee has  licensed Not For Resale Software, in which case Section 2.3 applies.
    2.1.1.         Development  Server License.  This Section 2.1.1 applies only if Licensee  has obtained a valid Development Server license to the Software.  In addition to  the other terms contained herein, (a) Licensee’s license to the Development  Server Software is limited to a maximum number of (i) ten (10) Concurrent Connections when using with the Real Time Media  Protocol (RTMP), and (ii) fifty (50) Concurrent Connections when using the Real  Time Media Flow Protocol (RTMFP); and (b) Licensee shall not use the Development  Server for load balancing.  No maintenance and support is available for the  Development Server.   
    So as per EULA you can use Developer Edition for commercial purpose with restriction that it cannot be used for load balancing or creating cluster of Developer Edition Network.
    You can refer to this old article when this part of EULA was introduced: http://www.flashcomguru.com/index.cfm/2006/10/9/fmsdevedition

  • Can I use adobe illustrator fonts for commercial purposes?

    Hi,
    I have purchased adobe illustrator CS4. Does this mean I can use any of the fonts installed in the program for commercial purposes?
    I am currently doing a t-shirt design and want to use the font Verdana in the design. I plan to reprint and sell this t-shirt indefinitely.
    Is this legal?
    Kay.

    you can use the fonts you can even send the fonts to the printer you can certainly use them on the web, when you send the font it is usually only for the convenience of not having the Print House load the fonts, but since most font hoses have illustrator it is not a problem they have the fonts as well.
    They only keep the fonts with your job if you send it. For instance if you send them a project with a font that is part of their font library hen they will ask you to send them even if another client has  or is using that font. if they get 10 or so instance were the same font shows up and they think it is a trend they buy the font as a convenience for their customers.You can not distribute the fonts to other user not even free fonts.
    But sending it part of the job is fine, printers have no interest starting up with the large foundry houses and they understand the copyright laws and would put themselves in a bad light if they broke this ethic so it is not going to happen for $30.00 for a font.
    You are fine you bought Illustrator and so you have a license for them.
    One difference between the fonts you get from Illustrator and and the ones you purchase is that the ones you purchase are allowed to be installed on five machines usually and the fonts that are included with Illustrator can only be installed with the copy of Illustrator, technically that means two machines.
    But the way it works since you can install the same Illustrator on as many machines as you want but can only activate it on two an use on one of those two at any one time it is possible that you would be in violation of your license since the fonts do not need Adobe activation to be available for other applications.
    So it you're doing that then you're a felon buddy!
