Ummm, think about what you just wrote. Now open your eyes so you can
actually read it, and look at it again.

Now look at the post you're responding to (mine). Try READING it.

Now, here's my question for you: are you on crack or something? If he
writes HIS OWN MUSIC, how do you get the insane idea that it'd be illegal
for him to use it? Of course, he could always ask himself for permission
to use parts of his own "original [composition]" ..... :-)

Geez, I never knew copyright law prevents you from using YOUR OWN STUFF!
