Right, I know we're already sending PMs on this, Zajed, but I read war-spawn's comment and have to set things right here...
Zajed did NOT alter anything of the original midifile. He just recorded it with some samples and posted it as his own remix/arrangement. I actually provided a link to the very midi he used. Sure, you can use something as a base; everyone who can't sequence by ear needs to find a midi in order to remix something. But this particular song was the orchestral version of the Kokiri Forest theme... Looking at Zajed's response, I don't even believe he's actually clicked the link I provided... I didn't post a link to the midi of the normal Kokiri Forest theme, I posted a link to the orchestral remix of the Kokiri Forest theme! I've posted it once, and I'll post it again... Kind of pointless at the moment because Zajed's deleted the file, but hey, he's going to post a download link to it here anyway, so then you guys can compare it.

Here's some additional information on that midifile as well, proving Zajed's not the maker of it: <a href="http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/n64/Kokiri-Orchestralv2.txt">http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/

Clear enough for all of you now? War-spawn, you're right, people do need to shut up sometimes. Only in this case, it's not me (yes, I wrote the review exposing Zajed as a midi thief), but Zajed himself.

PS.: Zajed, thanks for telling me you had "additional information" on your profile, I wouldn't have even bothered checking it and see the lies you're spreading.

Wtf? People need to shut up sometimes. So if you add your own twist to a VG track with similar instruments, that means you stole? Jesus people can cry a lot.
Zajed
the midi song with my song were really similar only because the midi was the original kokiritheme, and i made an orchestra version of it
and many people think they can hear differences between midi and mp3
a song with effort is lost
im not mad i just can understand what they want people are foolish sometimes
