On the music scene, honesty is important, and integrity is important. Music is an art, and like any other artform, artists express themselves and wish to see their own works published under their own names.
Sam Ferarra of the ZREO team, http://www.zreomusic.com/, a project that is re orchestrating Zelda Music, has been discovered to be stealing MIDIs and adding pirated samples to them
He originally denied these claims, but according to this log, he now says it is a perfectly moral thing to do since Koji Kondo produced the originals.
Now I've seen him before, and I am aware hes been caught doing this already. But what really got me was that he has made over 900 dollars in donations and has still not given credit for this stolen material despite the fact he is finally closing down under pressure of which he does not detail on his website.
But, let's not let this crime go unpunished, dozens of MIDI artists have been hurt. Currently there is a discussion regarding his fate, held at http://htloz.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4896 Please go there and make your voice heard. His AIM is aixsyd, and his MSN is aixsyd@gmail.com
