An Unfortunate Thing Has Happened To MIDI-Lovers
Around The World!!!
Several Law Suits Have Been Filed Against Web
Sites That Have Posted
Lyrics, MIDI Music Tunes, And Other Types Of Music On Their Web
Pages!
At least one overseas site has had their equipment
and records confiscated by the police!
In The USA, It Is Believed Some Sites And Their
E-Mail Are Being Monitored By The FBI
(There Has Been A Lot Of Debate Over If The Above Statement
Is Factual! I Certainly Hope It's Not!)
These law suits have been made by large companies
and organizations,
suggesting violation of various copyright laws.
This has scared many individual web site owners!
Therefore, many web sites or their music have been removed from the
internet
until these problems are addressed and resolved.
You Will Now Get
Many, Many
Broken Links
On My Pages When You Click On
A Link On My Links Pages
And/Or My Sequencers Page
I Am Not Going To Remove My Links To These
Sites At This Time
As Hopefully This Problem Will Get Resolved
Quickly,
And These
Great
Sites
Will Be Back Up
And Running Soon!!!
This Situation Has Also Caused A Very Adverse Effect On All
The Search Engines
And You Will Now Find Many Invalid Files And Links With Their Search
Results.

SO
WHY AM I DOING THIS PAGE???
I have received hundreds of E-mails from people, from all over the world,
from seven year old children to 90 year old senior citizens expressing their
concern, and then asking me why I'm doing this, exposing
myself to possible problems of my own. Well,
I'm not even close to completing this
answer yet!,
but here's a little bit of how I answered one
mail.
Well, Sir, I'm not exactly sure to how to answer you as I am not a
sequencer, just a music lover who has made friends with over 100 sequencers
over the last 2 years, and now the Professionals (Mainly *.*, *.*, Of *.,*,
Etc.) Is suing several of these sequencers including *.* Of - *.* Of *.*,
*.* Of *.*, and other non sequencers such as L** at L*.*s *.*-*.*, *.* At
MIDI Music, *.* At ***, etc. for just posting their
supposed copyrighted sequences to the
net. P/W, ****, (A great sequencer, in my opinion) from South Africa,
has been receiving so many threats, that he has closed
his site down and he has been posting great music for several years.
A/B, a great accordion music sequencer has pulled
every great tune, which you can't find
easily, off his site except for his own "Cajun" style originals.
At least 30 of my non-sequencer music friends, have pulled
their sites completely, in fear of
reprisals!!!
I received a request to remove a
graphic I have had on most of my 300+ pages for well over two
years!
Now, What The Devil Do You Suppose Caused That???
I've been using that particular graphic on my site since
the day I started making MIDI music pages!!!
Where & When Will It Stop???
Does Anyone Have A Copyright On Bold Print And
Underlining, That I Don't
Know About???
There is so much sophisticated equipment out there nowadays, that if you
say, make a great CD with 10 of your great originals, and then put it on
the market, sell a few, and someone later takes a program, and strips out
one of your tunes and somehow takes the tune, messes around with it with
a keyboard and a computer and re-posts it as a MIDI tune
it does not take but a few days to be all over
the world!
Now, you know when you hear it, if you ever do, that it was your original,
but the unknowing person that happens to download that MIDI file two
years later off the net, and then re-posts it to the net on their
page,
Should Not Be Held At
Fault!!!
This Is My Entire Point To This
Whole Stupid Issue!
I'm not a songwriter, a musician, a sequencer, a copyright expert or a
lawyer!
I'm just a guy who enjoys music and designing web pages with MIDI music
and giving credit, when possible, to the artist, sequencer, song writer
etc., if I know who they are!
This is the only reason I'm
Fussing about this whole thing,
or like a E-mail I received recently,
I Could Go Back To Listening To FM
Radio, It's Free!!!
