Re: [microsound] copyright...-data loss

[Ant Weiss <antonv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I never heard of this way of copyrighting, but I say - let it go, David, it
was 7 years ago - I am sure you've written a lot of much better stuff since
then. Conceptually one can say it wasn't even you who wrote this song - it
was some David Miller who existed 7 years ago....

This rises another question, by the way - how do you, list-members feel
about losing stuff
you wrote because of disk crashes, unintentional deletion, etc. ? (probably
happened to each one of us) Is this a trauma, a tragedy, or a blessing, a
chance to start over again?
