What's "In the style of" mean legally?

[GordonF]

I understand what this means in reality: the music was usually performed by an in-house band, often with paid-for sheet music, rather than bought from the studio that made the original.

However, I spend a bit of time remaking CDG music "in the style of" various artists using either bought sheet music and creating MIDI files (I have a SB Live and the "Utopia" sound font which cost a few bucks, and you can hear the difference!) or finding MIDI files sequenced by others that they've made available. These are for personal use only.

I wanted to know what the armchair lawyers here think of the defenition. Do I have to put "in the style of" on my intro screens to keep the lawyers at bay?

Oh, and I usually put "not for resale" and MTU's website on the ending screen, because too many folks ask me how I made the thing. :-)
