Innovation and creativity is good
Virtual Piano was established in 2006 as the original online piano keyboard. Since then, it has been used by millions of students as a learning platform in educational institutions across the world. It has introduced children to the piano and ignited their passion for music. The platform has provided a stepping stone into the music industry for some of the great artists and producers trending today. It has been used as a tool in commercial music production as well as a solo instrument by individuals for recreation. The global picture of the 15-year use of Virtual Piano shows that it is certainly not just a virtual piano keyboard. Virtual Piano is a form of expression and communication between different cultures and regions of the world – crossing language, space and time.
The challenge of being first to market
Since its inception, Virtual Piano has been plagiarised more than 130 times and the majority of these violations have been prosecuted and shut down. Immitation is a form of flattery for the original author, however, it also causes loss/damage to the original works. For those doing the copying, it is unethical, illegal and widely considered as a form of theft. Virtual Piano encourages collaboration and the spread of knowledge and ideas with positive energy. However, plagiarism is strongly condemned and will be prosecuted without exception.
Clause 1.7 of Virtual Piano's T&C's clarifies what users must never do:
"1.7 You may, however, not modify, create or derive works from, participate in the transfer or sale of, post its code on the internet, or in any way exploit the Virtual Piano tool itself or any portion thereof for any public or commercial use without the express written permission of Virtual Piano (and its holding company, Crystal Magic Studio Ltd). You may, therefore, not create a physical or virtual presence (including websites, blogs, social media channels or any other property) on behalf of Virtual Piano or its community without the express written permission of Virtual Piano (and its holding company, Crystal Magic Studio Ltd)."
