Now, if anyone wants to make money off it, I think Steve has a right to expect to be given some of that money. (Indeed, one could argue that if Steve's music helps someone pass the time as they tend their crops, they have a moral duty to feed him should he turn up on their doorstep.) But by and large we all agree that freedom of expression is a basic human right - and freedom and control are necessarily antonyms. So no, nobody has the right to control the expression of Steve's composition. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
