I would rather an open source format where you can submit your own samples, even something that allows you to sell samples peer to peer for like 50 cents each or whatever a fair price would be.
Splice is not unlimited downloads, you have to buy credits like it's a cam girl site. Rent to Own vst plugins do people actually pay for this?
I actually bought Serum through their rent to own offer. I think it was $10/mo. and you could pause at any given time and pick up where you left off when so desired. Also you could pay extra any time and you're able to update as well.[/quote]
READ THE TOS 
SLAVE LABOR and your paying them. Don't forget about the data they're collecting about the users.d. License Grant From You to Us. Subject to your Splice Settings, you hereby
grant us an unrestricted, assignable, sublicenseable, revocable, royalty-free license throughout the universe to Use all User Content you Post to the Service, through any media and formats now known or hereafter developed, for the purposes of (i) advertising, marketing, and promoting the Company and the Service; (ii) sharing information about your User Content with third parties and Third Party Sites, including Users; and (iii) Using your User Content on and through the Service as authorized in these Terms, including, but not limited to, for the purpose of Splicing.
You also grant us a royalty-free license to Use your name, image, voice, and likeness as made available by you or on your behalf through the Service in conjunction with advertising, marketing, or promoting you, your User Content, the Company, or the Service. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights granted in the preceding sentences of this Section 5.d include, but are not limited to,
the right to reproduce sound recordings (and make mechanical reproductions of the musical works embodied in such sound recordings), and publicly perform sound recordings (and the musical works embodied therein), all on a royalty-free basis. This means that you are
granting us the right to Use your User Content without the obligation to pay royalties to any third party, including, but not limited to, a sound recording copyright owner (e.g., a record label), a musical work copyright owner (e.g., a music publisher), a PRO, a sound recording PRO (e.g., SoundExchange), any unions or guilds, and engineers, producers or other royalty participants involved in the creation of User Content. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.d, if your User Content is a Track, then we will exercise our rights under this Section 5.d in a manner consistent with the Splice Setting you have chosen for such Track. For example, if you’ve indicated that a Track is Private, then we will exercise the rights to such Track under this Section 5.d in a manner consistent with your intent to keep it private (e.g., not use such Track to advertise, market, and promote the Company and the Service for so long as the Track is set to Private).[/quote]
Unless you're uploading and sharing tracks on their site, you don't have anything to worry about. I strictly use Splice to download samples and I've used their rent to own service for plugins as well.
