The wording of my last post may have inadvertently suggested I was recommending stealing something (though it is quite a jump from downloading a MIDI, which someone else suggested by the way, to stealing someone's car), which I certainly wasn't, by any manner of means; what I meant was that it seemed that I was being accused of stealing just because I downloaded a MIDI! If I had written a song and someone was interested enough to download the MIDI with a view to singing it, I would feel pretty flattered. Now if I had recorded it for profit, that would be a completely different matter. I repeat, how many of us have NOT recorded a tape from a friends record or CD player, etc? As someone who pays their way and has never been in debt in my life(I only got a credit card 3 years ago to purchase over the Internet) nor intends to be, I also consider I can look the world in the eye. Anyway this matter should have been closed with my last but one posting, thanking people for their help, and I am sure no-one wants to see 2 people slagging each other off. I am hopefully away on holiday tomorrow and hope that the above suggestion is taken to heart (ie this correspondence is now closed from my point of view!
