I understand this opinion and know that it is shared by more than one person

But in my view this can't be used as an excuse to infringe copyright. Look at life in general. There are lots of laws and rules that we have to follow - and we do. That's what makes us civilized. So I don't follow your line of rethoric...

Try to take your kind of rethoric into the rules that apply in trafic...
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.
This applies to many products IRL - not just style files. Take a look around your home. Any products that might have disappointed you aftert you bought it?! My point is that it doesn't allow anyone to infringe copyright!
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.
Having owned arranger keyboards since the late 80's I have learned that you should NEVER trust a demo from the manufacturer! Always listen to user demos - just like on the G-70 User Club website. These are telling the truth. And there are thousands of them on the Internet - again, no excuse to infringe copyright

Have a nice day my friend...
