From what I understand, many of the patches were generally available as freeware, from various sources. This guy has collected and sorted through them to find the best, sometimes editing them to make them sound better, and then put a collection together. He is charging 6 Euros for a good set of sounds, which is not much at all. With the number of VZ owners out there being very small, I seriously doubt he is going to make much money on this.
I would also agree that if they were commercially available or had been programmed by a specific author, then taking them and sellling them on is not a cool thing to do. However, I believe the only commercially available patches for the VZ came on the VZ ROM cards and it's highly unlikely that these are included in the collection (as they weren't that good!) All the other few and far between patches were passed around amongst enthusiast groups such as this over the years - origins and authors often unknown.
I would be happy to buy the set if I could find out how to, or what librarian program would, transfer them from my PC to the VZ.

Let me see if I understand, you took VZ patches that other people posted for free on the internet, did a youtube video to demo them, and are now are trying to sell the patches?
Is this correct? Or am I missing something?
And if what I said is exactly true, how much are you giving to the sound designers?
