Is there proper etiquette or procedure for using midi files offered on the internet - for demo purposes? If I used a midi file, created by someone else and offered for free on the internet, for a Youtube or Myspace presentation, should I first track down the author and ask permission? Or, does the fact that the file was offered on the internet infer that I could use it for demo purposes? I could understand if I used a file to make money, I would be obligated to at least pay a fee to the author.
Ciao,
