Trying to keep copyrighting and growing rich off music, is like trying to exploit and copyright mathematics. It's said the two universal languages are math and music. Math is free to all, so why not music? As a musician myself, I find the whole concept of trying to get rich off my music rather vulgar (though strangely appealing). The electronic scene (Detroit style techno, and the like, not the crappy commercial Europop) has it right with the idea of "Keeping It Underground". Stick with it for the enjoyment, not the all mighty dollar.
