And thirdly, as I said, the degree of enforcement is up to the rights societies, and copyright holders. It is a fact that they don't usually restrict people from doing what I and many (including you?) here at SZ do every day. Posting a recording of a cover of a tune on an obscure little forum for arranger users, for no other reason than to show each other their style or work, is of no concern to the copyright holder.
SONGRAMP (the largest song-posting site) doesn't allow it, so SOMEBODY must be concerned about it.

And once again, everybody (sorry, I should say just the few of you left with some kind of mission to find Dom's actions defensible by any means necessary) are still ignoring the scale of what is happening. Me posting a cover of an obscure Grateful Dead tune on an obscure forum has NOTHING in common with a keyboard manufacturer colluding with another individual to steal the legally copyrighted soundset IN IT'S ENTIRETY (or close enough that it doesn't matter) and the styles of a competitor's product, because his are not competitive. ?
As soon as you use the word "scale", you seem to imply that a "little" theft is ok (especially if you're the one doing it) but a "big" one is not. So I guess size DOES matter

Whoops, there's that arrogance again. I guess any position that differs from yours is absurd.

As I said earlier, I can only pray that you have sufficient success that when this happens to you, you remember this thread, and your comments. How could you be angry at a thief of YOUR property, when you condoned his theft of another's?
In light of the above, sounds a little hypocritical to me. I say "let him who is without sin cast the first stone" .
chas (who, so far, has never been in a position to "cast the first stone")
