Oops – I know it SOUNDS stupid — but I forgot!!! Yes, I agree, uploading a sample of the complete song would probably be a violation of copyright law! I'm wondering if MIDI sequences fall under the same law — if I perform a copyrighted song in a bar, the owner has to reimburse the publisher (ASCAP,BMI,etc.) who eventually reimburses the composer…. wouldn t wouldnt this apply to MIDI data as well? Just sort of curious how the law will be spelled out in the next few years….
