Thanks Marc.

Yeah, I won't deal with these guys anymore.

You're correct about so many similar ideas out there. Hey, we're all working from the same raw materials.

I do quite a bit of TV background instrumental work. I haven't copyrighted any of those tracks. I guess once there's airplay, they're protected to a degree (or maybe not?).

Anyway, I'm not really concerned anymore about protecting my work. However, if I ever get that once-in-a-lifetime "kill 'em dead", never-been-done-before song, I'll consider registering it.

Best, John
