What is the policy regarding copyrighted compositions? Is it ok to upload a cover of a copyrighted piece?
Or should the contestants upload only free pieces under a CC license?
Thanks!
What each contestant uploads is under his/her responsibility and we do not evaluate whether a certain composition is copyrighted or not. The best would of course be if you ask the copyright owner for permission to use it, or rearrange the composition in a way so that it only has a restricted resemblance to the original composition.

]]>Tried trial of 5 and totally loved it, but then I bought Radical Piano. With v6 out, I think I need to re-evaluate. But here is a question:
How can I record a demo with trial version? Aren't there some keys disabled? I remember few not working when I was trying v5 under Linux.
It is correct that the trial version has some disabled keys, but you may still use it in the video.

]]>Great to see the rules again! However, unfortunately still, I can't post any video on YouTube due to the inaccessibility of registering a Google account in my area. Can I post the video on a host other than YouTube? Thanks!
You can send us the video and we will upload it to our own Youtube channel.
