Wow, interesting (however OT). I've just had a phone call from the French author's rights management organization, saying they had collected nearly €4000 on my behalf subsequently to my first opera perfomances, and that all I had to do to receive the money was to formally subscribe to their organization (thus acknowledging that this money had been rightfully collected in the first place, ignoring the way my work was licensed and negating nearly everything I've been fighting for my whole life). I had to explain to them that this money had been collected illegally and that they should return it to the Opera House; took me a couple hours -- and in the end they were practically accusing me of being a criminal. (And just fyi, €4000 is just slightly above what I make in a year.) (And, yes, I do feel kinda stupid for turning it down.) Boy, do these spambots make up for interesting off-topicness :) Cheers, V. _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
