Are GarageBand Loops royalty free?

I was wondering if GarageBand Loops Royalty Free? Any beat/song I make with them can I sell them? I tried readings the License Agreement but I kept falling asleep so thought I'd just ask you all LOL. If they aren't royalty free but I want to sell/use for monetization what's the process?

As long as you don't sell them as loops themselves, you can use them in your songs:

"You may use the Apple and third party audio loop content (Audio

Content), contained in or otherwise included with the Apple Software, on

a royalty-free basis, to create your own original music compositions or

audio projects. "


However, this does not prevent some large corporation from flagging your songs on YouTube claiming copyright infringement because *they* used the same loop. I don't know what the appeal process is in that case.
