I’m pretty sure that the copyright for the ROMs won’t run out for another
80 years, at least in the states. One of my other concerns is how the P2k engine
will react to dynamically changing samples. You’re also likely to find that the
P2k software can only address so much memory... (it is memory, not storage.
Hence why it can be used in the RAM slots of an e5k or higher sampler...) Many
of us would be happy with a programmable flash ROM that we can stick an SD card
into that just copies the contents to faster flash or something, I personally am
not concerned about rewriting it every two seconds over USB or streaming audio
through USB.

I was under the impression that this project would be for people to create
their own banks, and to store them on a new ROM design as opposed to copying
commercial ROMs. Despite the fact that the original ROMs are no longer being
manufactured and sold (except for already existing ROMs in a re-sale market), I
worry about possible legal issues. (I am not a legal expert,
though.)
