some very clever players have posted there songs, styles and tunes on the Internet and are an inspiration to us all. Now along comes a gentleman!!! downloads from our websites and postings then promptly without permission is selling our free work on ebay. Please remember, all our songs are free so please if you are on ebay any type kn7000 always ask the seller where the contents of the sd card came from. Please help stamp this out.

That "Gentleman" - and I use the term loosely - downloaded all the Songs4U files and all the styles from my website and offered them for sale on eBay What a Bl***y Cheek!!
His eBay name is 'orwell100'

I note that he is still SELLING all the styles from the previous KN series, which were originally posted on the now defunct Technics website and were free to everyone. He is trying to justify the sale at a total cost of £11.00 by saying that it is "virtually at the cost of the SD Card". I can easily buy a 512MB SD Card for less than £5.00 ..........

Hi Folks,more than a B----Y Cheek he even talks about the safety of downloads. S/H sd cards,no backup if they are not clean!!!!! WOW 1 scrap KN7 not my idea of a good supplier.
Yes the styles are on Bill's site for free but they are also on Technote's site for sale and on a NEW card!!,support the REAL KN7000 suppliers and users. JOHN,

Hi Everyone

As some of you will remember, I traded my KN7000 for a Tyros2 just over a year ago, but still keep an eye on the site.

Could I suggest that whenever anyone finds this 'creep' trying to sell on Ebay that you bid £1.000.000 - this tactic has worked before and prevents any unsuspecting bidder from paying for 'stolen' goods.......

Bill, I suggest you contact ebay and formely complain

Good luck

John

Hi Everyone,

I think I may have been contacted by this fellow about three weeks ago but I have deleted the message and I cannot recall the name of the sender. However whoever it was offered me a fully loaded SD Card with the Technics 'free stuff' on it for £20. I asked to see what was on the card before parting with my money and he sent me a list which of course was mainly Technics freebies so I told him I wasn't interested as I'd already acquired these for "FREE".

His reply was that some people didn't have the time to download the 'freebie' etc. and the charge was to cover the time and costs involved. Needless to say, I didn't respond to it as I wasn't interested, but you've all now made me think that perhaps it wasn't quite so 'cocha' as I was led to believe.

Thanks for that, I'll bear it in mind in future.

Audrey

I received an e-mail a few weeks ago also from someone called Chris Woodward

Hello, I read your comments on the KN7000, if you are looking for more styles I am sellingan SD Card with over 650 styles on it, they are all the styles from the KN2000, KN3000, KN5000KN6000/6500, KN2600, AND 70 NEW ONES FOR THE NK7000. I have attached a list so that you can take a look.I charge £20 which if you think about it is good value as a blank SD CARD of 512 mb costs about £12 TO £15 Regards Chris

i guess its the same person

Regards
