MIDI Downloads
Authored by: dcnblues on Oct 25, '02 06:29:53PM


There used to be several websites that offered MIDI files for download. However, with the advent of MP3 trading, demand for MIDI seems to have declined, so many have disappeared.

As far as the legality of MIDI trading is concerned, a MIDI is only a note/instrument control sequence (and an inaccurate one at that, according to longtime MAC user BT) and will never result in an identical copy of a recorded work. However, one COULD say that MIDI playback constitutes a 'performance' of sorts... so you might be under the same laws as govern sheet music distribution and "cover" performances. Take note that I'm NOT a lawyer, and at this point am speculating wildly.... :)
