Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Oh BOY!!
The FBI?!?  
Somebody watches WAAAAY too much TV!
 
Maybe Ephrem Zimbalist Jr. will clap us all in irons, or maybe we'll
hear a "book-em, Danno" through the din of rifle bolts slamming home.  
 
As seen on TV!
Gee... I wanna live in YOUR world.
 
I'll buy whatever sequencez ya got just for the fun of it!  :-)
 
side note:  lemme tell you a story about the level of vigilance of your
FBI you hold in fantasy.  boring story follows.....
 
As partners in a 707 simulator, we had been trying to peddle this thing
on the international market.  Shortly after 9/11, my partner called and
said "hey, didn't we have some strange correspondence with the Syrians a
few months back?".  Sure enough, we did.
 
Seems in January prior to 9/11, the Syrians contacted us looking for a
big iron (shoptalk) simulator like the 707 and was wondering how long it
would take to transport, calibrate, and become operational there in
Damascus.  Price seemed to be no object.  We thought this odd cuz they
don't have a large fleet of 707's and didn't seem to be adding any 747's
(upgrade training path) so why all the interest?!??  But hey, it's their
money.  One thing led to another and of course, the deal went no where
cuz we made the mistake of asking too many questions.  How dare we
question them?  (almost verbatim...)
 
Some weeks after 9/11, I personally contacted the regional FBI office
and related the (much more involved version of our) story.  Wanna guess?
Ho-hum.  yes, that's very nice.  Hey, we got names, faxes,
correspondence, emails, etc.!  Nope... not interested.  You can send it
in if it'll make ya feel better....
 
So yes, I'm SURE the FBI is very carefully scrutinizing every
transaction on every list, oh yes.. very concerned all right -- while
they're not sitting around scratching their @sses, anyway.

	Oh Boy!! I wonder if anyone from the Federal Bureau of
Investigations belongs to this list. They just love looking into that
copyright infringement stuff. And you know what? Each one of us have an
Internet Protocol Address that leads directly to our physical address.
The FBI could subpoena any internet service providers database and show
up at our front door at anytime for this sort of thing. It seems that
Ricci is trying to backtrack on his sales pitch to charge for published
music in view of this legitimate inquiry as to licensing. I am
interested in seeing what further develops here.

		Morning Ricci,
		 
		You wrote the following in your email addressed to
Michael:
		 
		"The 80's are probably my favorite time for music and
yes I have a pretty extensive 
		library of SD-1 created covers.  The quality of my
sequences are 
		close to picture perfect to the original tunes..(yea, Im
a bad-
		ass..haha!), just kidding.  No offense or anything but I
wouldnt mind 
		hearing a sample of your work and vise verse but to tell
you the 
		truth I usually charge for any sequences I have produced
usually 
		because the people that buy the songs are using them in
a live band 
		situation at their gigs.  I think thats only fair.."
		 
		Your statements above are where I got my information.
That led me to ask the licensing question. Guess I misunderstood what
you were saying huh?
		 
		Have a great day.....
