The point is, there are no T3 sounds, there are just sounds..

Because Tough Yamaha spend a lot of time creating those sounds, All they did in the end was copy those sounds from another source.

Same goes for the open systems but instead of a company copying and improving sounds... now there is the community copying and improving sounds..


And the same goes for Styles...

Did Yamaha ever pay a penny to the Strauss fammilly for adding those Waltz styles. Or even pay a penny for that "hardrockstyle7" that just happens to be exactly the same as a big hit from KISS, but beleive me, KISS or the record company have never seen a penny from that style.


I agree that Midi files and MP3's are of a different measure... but thats about it.


Overhere in the world of Open systems and community, its the community(ideally) creating the content, best excample is : James new string gigasamples created by James and shared with the community. If the Community grows and people start to share everyone becomes a happier person, tough noboddy will get rich from it, but everyone will be a happier person in the end.
