[pygame] are individual midi instruments sounds copyrighted



Hi pygame users,
I've just recently composed many of my own music pieces using a Yamaha keyboard.
I saved the exact midi sound into a wav-file on my computer by
plugging the keyboard to the computer's line-in.
Everything was seeming good until-- I saw this page about midi
copyright:  http://www.midiloops.com/copyrit1.htm
Does this mean I should pay royalties just to use an ogg-file
containing midi sounds-- even if I composed the melody totally myself?
I really wish I could just legally use my midi recordings without
paying royalties.
The Yamaha keyboard is already payed for and now I realize there are
copyright restrictions. This is very frustrating.
I'd appreciate any of your help. Thanks.
Matt
