Controversy※

In 2008, an artist called DirtyCircuit claimed to have been threatened with legal action after using the sample "LP_Faxing Berlin C_128bpm" that came bundled with FL Studio, which Deadmau5 claimed copyright for. The sample was a direct clip of a full bar of the "song." Deadmau5 provided a demo track that came bundled with FL Studio, "along with several loop samples." The case caused a slight discomfort among the users of FL Studio, some of which have pointed out potential inconsistencies in the EULA of the software.
