We are not at all fascinated with the legal blah, but there are some points that *must* be made clear.

• MIDI files

All of the MIDI files here are self-sequenced by site authors or our friends. They are free for personal use. You may also use them on your webpages, provided that you will place a link to Completorium somewhere in your site and we'll receive a note about it (just to satisfy our egos). The only exceptions to this rule are large archives of the 'Largest MIDI Collection On The Web' kind. If we find our files there, we won't sue you but *will* hate you.

Attention: Not all of the compositions are in public domain! Quite a few of them were transcribed from manuscripts or reconstructed recently, and therefore any commercial use of the pieces should be consulted first. In such case, please contact us. (I wrote this as a joke, but there were already three inquiries of the kind - A.J.) This site is a non-profit one, designed for educational purpose and plain fun, and the use of MIDI files here shouldn't be, by any means, harmful to the rights of persons who did the transcription and published the pieces. However, if you were involved in the research or publishing of any music presented, and you feel that the composition shouldn't be here, please notify us and then we shall promptly remove the files (but pleeease, don't! It would make us *very* sad, not mentioning EM fans worldwide.....)

• MP3 Files

The two MP3 files are published here thanks to courtesy of Polskie Radio Katowice and choir conductor Waldemar Gałązka (thanks a lot, by the way!). They are to be published exclusively within Completorium site and downloaded for personal use only. And if you like it, buy the record. Howgh.

• Music sheets

The music is free to download, print, copy and perform.
We are strongly convinced that those compositions *and* transcriptions are in public domain. The pieces that are published here and will be in the future were taken from printed originals and transcribed at least before WWII.

• Biographies and essays

Those were compiled from various sources: CD covers, editorial notes to music sheets, books etc. Some of them were written specially for this site. Others were placed here in good will, for education and fun, and their appearance here, we believe, should not be harmful for the authors. If you are, by chance, the author of any work quoted here, *please* contact me so I will be able to put full credits to the work (or, with regret, remove the text from the site).

• Graphics

Graphic design © Adam Jarczyk. The pictures were, to my best knowledge, taken from early originals (except my photo which is not THAT old and ListBot button which is on different server anyway) and were copied from various sources. Guess you could do with them anything you wish.

• HTML Coding

It was done by yours truly (A.J.) and is therefore placed in public domain (which means, it's so crappy that no one could want it).
