The Dink Network

What if I released a midi packs of songs from the band "America"?

Songs like this.

DO IT

It would be welcomed

What if I add "Suicide is Painless" (Instrumental version) as a bonus?

isn't that copyrighted?

Who the hell would copyright a MIDI?

The melody and lyrics would be copyrighted.

-Doublepost-

Sorry. I've apparently forgotten how to use this board.

You're right of course, but even the notoriously litigious RIAA doesn't seem to bother with midis. I suppose if you used them in a commercial product you might get some trouble. But I'm sure most D-Mods of any any size include midis that are less than 100% legal.

Edit: To clarify lots of D-Mods use MIDIs of popular songs, which seems to be tolerated, but you're still not allowed to submit MIDIs alone unless you made them yourself.

From my own experience, I know that The Dink Network doesn't approve other than self-created MIDIs. At least, that's how it used to be about 5 years ago.

So, it's okay if I make the midis myself?

Yeah.

If you have the skill though, you should totally compose some original stuff. Like, totally.

But remaking things is so much fuuun.

Adding Green Day-Minority to the list. (My rendition of it)

"But remaking things is so much fuuun."

I completely agree with this statement, as someone who has remade countless songs from rock bands in MIDI form, but I agree with scratcher more. If you make original stuff we'll love you twice as much.
