You're not serious are you? Can you imagine the amount of time and 
work that has to be spent to find out whether something I wrote is 
infringing? You gotta be kiddin' me!

But that is not to say, that I don't appreciate you participating, 
don't get me wrong. It is not meant to be a personal attack on what 
you wrote. But a general statement on the mechanisms involved in 
creating things.

Plus, there's only so many notes in a scale and so many combinations 
and although I am a hundred percent convinced we will not run out on 
new musical material the same way we won't run out on stories even 
though they all use the same words, it is always going to be 
difficult to be original while still staying in the tonal areas that 
are acceptable and tried and true in popular music...

So really this is an issue that is very very delicate.

Cheers
Hans
