State clearly what you think the position is in relation to yamaha or korg or ketron styles in terms of whether or not they have protection under copyright laws and if you dont believe they do then please state clearly why you think that is.

1. firstly state whether or not you believe arranger styles created by any of the arranger manufacturers is intellectual property capable of being protected by copyright laws or not. If not state clearly why and how the laws outside china differ in relation to what can be regarded as intellectual property compared to say europe .
2. Secondly if styles can be treated as intellectual property (as already demonstrated in china) then who holds the copyright if not the manufacturers?


If you direct me to links then point out specifically what you think is the RELEVANT difference in relation to the copyright of styles.


Yamaha styles are copyrighted, but Yamaha style extensions(formats) are not copyrighted.

Roland-Korg-Ketron.....................Styles are copyrighted but not their extensions(formats).

so if you buy a software like Live-Arranger you can buy those styles or third party styles and use with Live-Arranger. or create your own style with those extensions(format).

why i posted the link here, do you think?

therfore i posted link to article about Yamaha styles here.

even is second time that I post about Yamaha article on synthzone.

search on for the topic about Live-Arranger,

on that topic Diki actively changed the answer from others with his own words, and then he said to others this is, what that person said.

he is doing that also here, and you are doing a little the same thing.

as James says this topic is now running about sampling,
so...............
