Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I've been involved in a number of cases of this kind of thing and  
here's what happens: 1-The deciding factor is which person filed with  
the copyright office first ---that is what counts. Never the less,  
sometimes nobody cares--even if it is released and big sales are  
generated.  Basically it is the call of the publishing company and  
sometimes they just don't care.  2-If they do care, then either  
negotiations take place or big lawsuites take place and I have seen  
tragic things take place: such as them putting the question up to a  
jury and then just twisting the facts like mad --as we have seen them  
before.
