Warning
The Yamaha Professional Audio Workstation is designed to be used professionally
and responsibly by recording industry professionals. The reproduction, distribu-
tion, or, in some instances, the public performance, of all or a portion of a sound
recording or musical composition protected by copyright, without having
obtained a proper license from the relevant copyright holders, may constitute
copyright infringement and may otherwise violate copyright laws and other laws.
In addition, laws (such as the Audio Home Recording Act and the Digital Millen-
nium Copyright Act in USA) contain certain restrictions and requirements that
may apply to your use of works protected by copyright and related information
and data that may accompany such works. Violation of such laws may result in
civil remedies and, in some cases, criminal liability.
Because violations of copyright laws may be serious offenses, you should consult
a lawyer familiar with the law of copyright, including all laws that may be appli-
cable to your use of the Workstation (such as the Audio Home Recording Act and
the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in USA), if you have any questions regard-
ing your intended use of all or parts of sound recordings or musical compositions
protected by copyright.
