One thing is what would be nice for synthesizer community, another
thing is business. I don't think it's a thing of ethics in this case,
just the strategy and decision. We can like it or dislike, that's all...

I'm not that one who should judge this.

Point here which we discuss is a copyright. If I will ignore your
personal attack to me, explanation is simple:
First I don't sell or share stolen music, it's my own music. Second -
my claims are based on my personal belief, not on the science. I don't
guarantee it will work with some other person, and don't force anybody
to buy it. Even when it would not work, it's not my mistake and still
the customer has 60 minutes of high quality art piece so nothing is
lost. Listening to it is pleasant, enriching and can't make any harm,
it can have only positive effect. There's no dirty trick or unethical
thing in it, and I have no reason to be ashamed. So please don't
compare incomparable.
Besides anybody can check and listen this music before considering the
purchase, first finished 5 CD's (each has 60 minutes, 12 tracks) are
on my soundclick page since the last week:

Yes, that was my main point since the beginning. There are other
places for sharing it, as we all (including me) know well.
Best regards.
