Hi joso.
Of course you can use the styles for your songs. But this has nothing to do with copyright.
But it does, where else do you think the permission to use them in your songs comes from. It's the royalty free licence that gives you permission, and that's the copyright that gives you the freedom to do many things.
I am just saying that it is not allowed to make copies of styles.
The law is the law, it's very much black and white on the subject of copyright and licensing. As much as you may not like the situation, the fact is no law is being broken here.
Here's some food for thought too. Lets pretend your right for a moment. If that were the case then your own website could easily be seen as a major hub for promoting large scale piracy. With only a few clicks on your website I can find all sorts of tools that break your view of copyright law as well as links to factory styles extracted from other keybaords and converted to Yamaha format.
So it's kind of funny really hearing you say it's not ok to share styles, yet your website promotes it and offers tools for modifying copyrighted data.
Lets not get stuck on the details, I'm merely saying this to just help explain a point of view and help clear up this difference of opinion people have on the subject.
Fact is no law is being broken here. As I said, you may not like this, but it's the law and licence the styles are under that allow it.
Regards
James
