Or just find a MIDI file to download and look at.

I'm looking at one right now and seeing nothing but hex numbers. :)

Ok, lame jokes aside, it's still difficult to find game MIDIs (yes, I 
know of vgmusic site) and, specially, piano single game MIDIs...

Why would you get sued?

I wouldn't really think twice about posting a recording of myself playing
video game music (actually I would, but not for legal reasons). I would
even post playing "modern" music, where the authors are still alive and
playing it and getting money for it :)

What I definitely wouldn't do is post the original for comparison (although
I wish I could); that would be probably considered piracy.

No.  There are even some who tour around.  Google for "videogame 
pianist". ;)

Generally the score is sold with permission to perform it, fwiw.  I 
remember in school band, we would sometimes have to buy two sets of the 
music, because each set came with 10 trumpet copies and we had eleven 
trumpet players or something.

Don't you have yellow pages in the UK?

Ooo, that's *interesting*.

Heck, we don't even have any shops that sell sheet music in my city any 
more. :-(

(The last one went bankrupt a few months ago.)

But maybe you can do something with the Internet...?

I'd love to see the score for Pirates of the Carribean! ;-)

Well for example, I've never seen the score for the Bridge Zone from 
Sonic the Hedgehog (IIRC, II on the MasterSystem, but I might be wrong). 
But I can still play it. And I've made a recording of it.

Doesn't change the fact that I don't have the publisher's permission to 
do any of this...
