You seem to imply that *all* music publishers are evil. Some are evil, some are not. But just because there are some music publishers who coerce artists to give up their rights, doesn't mean that OSM is also evil. I'd like to see you say to the FSF that they are as evil as many of the RIAA companies for having copyright assignment. _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
