[Dixielandjazz] Copyright infringement

[John Farrell]

Yes, I know about that Arn. However many people who use my music on their
websites do have the courtesy to ask my permission to do so, I never refuse
it provided that it is made clear where the music originated.

Because of the millions (perhaps billions?) of internet users in existence I
should not be surprised that some of them are unscrupulous lowlifes who, in
full knowledge that nothing can be done about it, will steal or misrepresent
someone else's work with impunity, nevertheless when it happens to me it
makes my blood boil with impotent rage.

> Not only that, John, but many of your MIDI files appear on other websites
with either no attribution or with the implication that they were created by
the owner of the website. It's sickening.
