Ahh GFK.. always the critic. :) I do know what i'm saying is correct, however that is more on a regional basis. For instance, the DMCA won't be enforced in NZ, making MIDI files still considered a program, but it is enforced in Australia due to the nature of Australias free trade agreement with the US. And none of it applies in Singapore. :P What I am saying IS correct, the point is - a lot of it has never actually been tested in court in different places around the world. No ROM site has ever gone all the way to court, because they've shut down under legal pressure. Therefore, for instance - while ROM sites are technically illegal and do NOT meet the fair-use requirements, no judge has actually ruled on that, making the current implied understanding of the law simply conjecture. If it DID go to court, a judge MIGHT consider it fair use thereby setting a precedent. Until that time, I go by the letter of the law, and as such they are a breach of several copyright rights. Likewise, Australia has never had a case concerning wether MIDI files are legal or not as copies of songs or as computer programs, so even though they accept the US definition, Aus courts can still make their own decision - but we don't know yet.
