Sorry, my point was not about it being a job or labor
of love.
My point is that the reality of the music business is
that there
are certain rules you follow or you get burnt.
There have been many lawsuits over plagerism. George
Harrison was sued for 'My Sweet Lord', a slowed down
melody version of the 1960's song 'He's So Fine'.
Protect yourself. Things can come back to bite one in
the butt.
