My point exactly: if you build your own firm and sell your patterns
under a proprietary license, this will *not* prevent anyone from
stealing your work. On the contrary, it will only make it harder to
track down illegal copies.

It might be possible to include some specific DRM-like markers in the
midi files (they do that for images), though I'm not familiar with
this.

And there are quite a few midi search engines out there, that have the
ability to find similar files even with different names.

Anyway, I think you know the only way for an author to make sure that
his work will never be misused:
