I respect your ideas and opinions, but we are obviously two different people with different ideas on this.

I am aware of the facts. I know that all the companies at one time or another requested their styles be removed and now it appears that this is pretty much overlooked at the sites that I go to, and I really do believe they have figured they can get some good advertizing out of it.

Listening to demos of styles or songs is not the same as playing the styles themselves. This give you a good feel of how much you might desire to own the kb they are taken from. I have heard many online demos, saying I have to get one of those kb's to find out that it doesn't sound anywhere that good in person playing in live arranger style. The Korg PA80 and Technics KN2600 are 2 keyboards that tend to mislead this way, IMHO, whereas Yamaha demos sound about they way they will sound when you play them yourself.

Anyway, just a few ideas.
