Copyright status of music and sound samples

[iafilm2]

Mediastudio Pro 7 installs with a folder "samples" with various subfolders containing what looks like a small but useful music library. There is more on a "content CD". These include "classic_rock.mp3", "airplane landing.wav", "Music01.mp3" etc.

What is the status of these clips? Do we as users have permission to use them? I can find no documentation about them and there is no info attached to them. Has anyone else found any statement about them?

I need to know because I am entering the 48-hours film-making competition which requires clearance documentation for all sound and other library media used. How can I get clearance for this material?

The paper manual I've got for MSP 7 says the following on the copyright page. You'll have to decide what it means, or whether it applys to the files you're talking about.
