Also, I gotta say that this suit looks really strong. I think even the RIAA will have a hard time wiggling out of this, although they will probably draw it out.

Not to thread-jack, but this would bring up an interesting argument about whether or not the written music itself was the actual art, or just a written interpretation of what it might have sounded like. People who are amazing musicians, and write their music down make it possible to get an idea how it sounds, but my playing a tab of Hendrix is hardly Hendrix. I'd be inclined to argue that the actual piece of art would be the original recording, not the written down composition although that is obviously an awefullly subjetive argument. Anywho... on with the RIAA arguments!
