Not really.  If I'm not wrong, a bunch of orchestras around the world 

grow, I guess...

Yeah, but did they have _permission_?

If so, that's completely different.

Hell, my sister's school staged a production of Joseph and the 
Technicoloured Dreamcoat. But they had _permission_. (Not to mention the 
complete orchestral score.)

Actually, it makes me kind of jelous. How the **** do you *get* that 
stuff?! There are some ALW scores I'd love to get my hands on - but what 
are the chances of that?

Yeah, obviously sponsored by the game companies.

That's the tought part, yes.  Getting the musical scores.  I heard in 
japan the game companies publish popular game's musical scores.  Lookup 
for game sheetmusic...

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.

pianist". ;)
