Sorry Guys!!
I wasn't aware that they are in fact 'Pirated' styles - But you now have me thinking (and its painful!).
Surely styles can only be 'Pirated' - if it can be proven that any particular style or styles they sell are in fact 'Properly Copyrighted'. I have been in many discussions on other Forums as to so called 'Intellectual Copyright' also the laws and costs of Copyrighting music - particularly Songs, Styles, Mp3's and Midi Files that have been 'openly' available on the many Forums that Members post on.
A 'Blanket' Copyright claim displayed on a forum for its contents is not valid, unless registered and paid for (45 pounds 70 Dollars in UK for each song or specified collection of songs, such as on a DVD). That is why a lot of Forums are 'Locked' to deter theft - but in reality it is impossible to recognise when registering, whether a new member is 'legit', and won't be there to perloin files and pass them to others.
In the final analysis - I don't believe any private individual has ever sued for 'Intellectual Copyright' on such files, therefore the word 'Copyright' when related to posted styles is invalid, and ergo - the claim that they are 'Pirated'.
May I respectfully suggest that for someone new to Technics, and with only a few styles in their collection (you can never have too many !) - The Vendor of these styles has done the job of collecting styles from all the nooks and crannies on Tinternet, and would guess that a good proportion are no longer around!
Can it be proven there are any commecially produced Styles in there - as the major supplier of these styles worldwide (No names, but he eats Strawberries in Rotherham, Yorkshire!), has and is successfully taking theft of his properly copyrighted products to Court.
If I am wrong or misguided in my beliefs, then, as ever - in the light of sensible discussion, I remain to be convinced.
Kindest regards and respects,
John
PS... I wasn't intending to buy any - but thought it was of interest and for discussion!

The whole stock of styles that are now sold under the Strawberry label were produced by technics and distributed by the Technote company. Style Disk Warehouse bought this whole stock and the right to distribute them.I still have an original catologue from Technote from when I owned my Kn7000 in 2002 and was a technote club member. Peter B. Hi Peter - I didn't want to name the company concerned publicly, which is why I made the obvious reference to Strawberries and Rotherham, and not Neil Blake by name. I was aware of the history, and origin of his disks, as they are all clearly labelled as such. I wonder, just wonder how it is that a couple of about 20 I have of his discs, all purchased legitimately from him, are clearly 'home made' copies, having the 'Stick on' labels on the 'Tutorial' DVD's rather than the directly printed original commercial disks. As he seems to be so punctillious in his prosecution of copyright offenders, one can only assume that he somehow has had the copyright of these disks transferred to him, as well as the old stock. Regards, John

All the Styles from the previous range of Technics keyboards (KN2000,3000,5000,6xxx) plus some styles from the KN2400/2600, were originally available on the now defunct Technics website, as free downloads. When the website closed, I contacted Panasonic and obtained permission to add these styles to my website. They are still available, as a single download in '.sdb' format here : http://www.willumspages.co.uk/page8.htmlWhen downloaded, they can be transferred to an SD Card, using the Panasonic 'Song Manager' program, as described on the web page. The download also includes some new 'World' styles.
