Can you use a midi in a website without infringing upon copyright laws?
Only if the song is a free domain song, such as "Happy Birthday" or "God Save the Queen". Popular songs, such as songs which are owned and copyrighted by an artist can only be used with written consent from the copyright holder, unless your organization holds an ASCAP license, in which case, the ASCAP logo must appear on the page containing the music which is being used under the ASCAP license you hold.

Audacity can be used to convert a MIDI track to an audio file, therefore eliminating any editable MIDI data. You can simply keep the MIDI file and open it directly in FL Studio and edit any property of the MIDI, including exchange them for better sounding synthesizers and real audio samplers. FL is, after all, a digital audio workstation specifically designed for sequenced music. Loading a MIDI file will split the tracks for you and you can export any one of them individually as a MIDI or audio file.
