In fact, there's another post lurking - one about truth and pretence, about respect and taking things for granted, about principles and being true to oneself - but I don't feel it's matured yet. <BR/><BR/>Sufficient to say just now that I think the conditions of my Creative Commons Licence are ideal - attribution, non-commercial, no derivatives.

But it's such a big deal when, for example, a piece of music is photocopied, or changed in some way, that I've become more sensitive to issues of copyright and correct procedure - and I firmly believe it should apply to all intellectual property. So my first feeling of being pleased was soon replaced by irritation.Christine McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198224025775398453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19191002.post-73756618299336917892008-10-12T00:05:00.000+01:002008-10-12T00:05:00.000+01:00Could this composer's work be seen in some way as ...Could this composer's work be seen in some way as a compliment?Dorothy Coehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493453474346642496noreply@blogger.com
