Does research and development really come down to what it cost to do 
or to what your trying to achieve.  It's about control.  I could 
give a label my copyrighted music and they could try and rip me off 
anyway.  I just thought people wrote music to play music, but 
obviously there are people out there who make money from their music 
and others to write it to control it.  In either case maybe the 
Vervepipe and the Stones deserve each other, and maybe it's all just 
some crazy scheme to propagate more interest in something not that 
interesting or lucrative.
