MOTM

Thanks to everyone who has responded so far.
I would not copyright the patches.
Everyone who had subscribed would receive a pdf of the patch diagram 
and possibly an mp3.
These would be delivered by email.
There would be nothing to prevent a recipient from posting the patch 
elsewhere, except their own sense of honor and honesty.
But if things got bad enough I could possibly devise some sort of 
watermark so they could be traced.  Hopefully that would not be 
necessary.
I would want the contributors to recieve some compensation. I would 
not expect to keep anything for myself.
It costs money to publish a book and to distibute/sell it.
This would cost the contributors nothing and they would actually 
benefit from their contributions.
This will only work if there are enough people willing to subscribe 
and to contribute.
A possible alternative form of distribution would be a secure 
website requiring a password.  This would be a little bit more 
expensive and possibly a little more work to manage, but there is 
still nothing to prevent someone from sharing his or her password.
There is also nothing to keep someone from photocopying a book or 
scanning a book and posting the scans.

Just some thoughts.
