So, you are whistling a new tune in your room with the windows open. Jack
is walking by and hears some of it. It is catchy and he starts to whistle
it as he walks along. John standing at the bus stop a few blocks away
hears it as Jack passes. He too starts whistling the melody. He gets on
the bus whistling. All of the bus riders hear at. When they get off the
bus at their various stops they whistle it. Etc. In the absence of
copyright law, do you really think you have some power or right to
prevent this situation? Some right to be compensated by all of these
people whistling without your permission?
As inventor Conrad Aiken said, "Don't worry about people stealing your
ideas. If they're original, you'll have to ram it down their throats."
