Terms of Use for Playing Musical Instruments

[Kaliesto]

I really don't understand why they make this such a big deal to begin with as a person who generally thought this whole ordeal was really strange ever since this became a issue, these instruments don't even produce real sounds and would be vastly inferior to the actual song. It would be highly strange of musicians outside of the game to even get upset over this and also they're not even making any money off of it either.

This seems like a overreach imo in the interpretation of Copyright, I don't have a horse in this race but the way the Developers are reacting to this seems highly strange.

Now if the Bard Music System was made in a way to allow to use real instruments (like actual recording from your device) then yes we would have a bit of a problem, but MIDI music is not of that high quality nor will it ever will be.

Now if this only happened because something happened on the Japan Data Centers one day, and Japanese Copyright decided to lay down the iron hammer then I would be more forgiving of the circumstances, but their interpretation of MIDI music would be to me overly reactionary.
