Yes they are infringing on copyrights and yes they are illegal if they did not pay royalties. In fact many of the MIDI sites with melodies were closed down by the music police.

Many of the remaining MIDI sites are for playback only like YouTube but most of us know how to DL them if we so desire.

My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
