BAck to the copy right thing..

Its all locall law, overhere in Holland you are allowed to make copies of anything for personal use.. So if i own a CD from Michael Jackson, i can copy the songs to my MP3 player, or make a copy of the CD in my burner to use in my Cars CD player..

Next to that i am allowed to mod everything for my personal use, like modding MP3's XBOX360's Playstations and such. SO its allowed to make a program that moddifies styles.

But if you can use a song on stage without paying royalties is a totally different question, if you use your song to play "achy breaky Heart" you're going to pay royalties for that. If you use the changed style to play an own number it all depends on how much different your number has become from the orriginal.

Whenever i use a style on stage to play Michael Jacksons Ben, i need to play royalties to the owners of the Michael Jackson label. If i use the same style to play my own song i don't need to pay any royalties. I never pay royalties to Yamaha for playing Yamaha styles.

So its no problem for me to use modified styles on stage..
