Most of you propably know the same copyright laws apply to midis as other types of music. I was just wondering has anyone ever had any legal trouble from using midis?

Fortunately not, but that's probably because most MIDI sites have Public Domain MIDIs.

Where can someone read the laws of the MIDI. Is there a site?

You should look at the Copyright laws, which cover practically ANYTHING made by someone else and on which no permission is given to use it.

Go look for the copyright laws, there are no MIDI laws. XD

I think you shouldn't worry about it as long as you made the midis yourself. And if you don't know how to put copyright info on your midis just use TS-MIDI Editor 1.0...
You could most likely find it with google or something..
