Don:
I read 'so the readers can properly evaluate your statements' to mean you.
I'd be happy to give my background.
I'm a composer, musician and inventor with over 20 patents and over 100
(well over 100, actually) registered and published works. I'm also very
close with my patent/trademark/copyright attorney (who also happens to be
my brother), with whom I consulted on the issues raised here before putting
my two cents in.
Incidentally, it seems I've managed to persuade my brother to write a paper
on this issue (using messages that I've archived) – he specializes in
copyright law as it pertains to the software and toy industries (er,
different specialties there, of course). With his permission, I'll UPLoad
the paper upon completion.
Roger
