This is fair, unambiguous and similar in concept to the US copyright - you write a tune, you automatically own the copyright, you're not required to file for ownership. I think it should always be the case. (i guess we could also talk about the mechanical and publishing rights as well. But, it seems that it would follow the same policy.) -- Brad Fuller (408) 799-6124 ** Sonaural Audio Studios ** (408) 799-6123 West San Jose (408) 799-6124 Cambrian ________________________________ Hear us online: www.Sonaural.com
