@Kain... that is so ass backwards, I don't even understand. That can't be legal.
@Metal... unfortunately everyone who can sing "old mcdonald" thinks they are a musician, and everyone who creates a four-not melody thinks they are a composer. People are stupid that way. They don't ask for money for their work because they don't invest themselves in it at all, and then rightfully they shouldn't be paid for it anyways. I can't understand how people who can call themselves composers or producers just assume that their knowledge of music is sufficient. Being good at music is all about constantly learning and evaluating yourself. I hope to be a substantial composer some day, yet wouldn't dare assign to myself such a moniker. Sadly though, I know I have more musical understanding than the people you speak of. Let them do their thing though. In the end, quality and passion for the craft win out over the mindless droves.
