I am definitely stunned that that one got by the lawyers. To me, that
kind of thing just smells of disrespect for IP (which our world seems to
be giving less and less respect for - I'm wondering what the music scene
will be several decades from now - I have this suspicion that the big
professional groups will be a thing of the past, however, I'm convinced
good music will still be had, and I bet there will be very little piracy
of the best of it - I can forsee three (and a half) sources of music -
the amateurs who freely shares their music, the artists who have rich
patrons who share the wealth of the artists they support [the half is
the rich folk who keep it all for themselves], and the artists who are
supported by a very loyal fan base who are willing to pay $50 [in
today's money] for a real top notch album, because that's what it's
worth to them to have that quality of art [and who will very likely NOT
give copies of it to all their friends]).
