- This Mini-FAQ is posted weekly to answer such questions as:
- Where can I ftp MIDI files from
- Where can I find the MIDI specs
- Where can I find MIDI programs.
-
- ********************************************************************** Notice
- Due to copyright problems the MIDI "SONGS" have been removed. We got a threat
- about the copyright of some of the files in the SONGS directory. So we had to
- decide to (at least temporarily) disable the SONGS directory. I will put back
- those files that I am certain will not cause copyright problems, but it could
- take a while to sort these out. As I see it now, the following files could
- cause problems: 1.Files that are renditions of music of which the copyright
- has not yet expired, like pop songs or music by contemporary composers, or
- composers who died less than 75 years ago. The 75 may be different in
- different countries. 2.Files that are manufactured by a commercial company,
- or by anyone who did not give permission to distribute it, even if the music
- itself is not copyrighted, e.g. a file containing a piece of Beethoven, made
- by a commercial company. Note that there are situations where a file is
- copyrighted, but the author or composer has explicitly given permission to
- distribute the file (usually with certain restrictions, like you can't change
- it or ask money for it).
- ********************************************************************** Many
- MIDI related files can be found at ftp.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.17]. Midi
- programs in /pub/MIDI/PROGRAMS and subdirectories for various computers. MIDI
- specs and lots of more doc in /pub/MIDI/DOC/. More ftp sites can be found in
- the file /pub/MIDI/DOC/archives
- These are also available on the WWW:MIDI archive
-
- All these files can be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to
- mail-server@cs.ruu.nl with the contents: send HELP.
