Ever watched the Grammy awards to watch all the famous "Rap Artists" and "Country Artists" and such? Record companies, CD retailers, and the industry in general may categorize music into different bins. The (U.S.) law does not. Your latest symphony has exactly the same protection as the latest Techno mix, no more, no less. Lord, who would decide!????
