You mean it ever was funny? My reason for posting was that if you're going to have a stupid business plan, it might as well be for the oldest business in the world - selling your own body!:-)
Still, it could give a new slant on mail order brides!
1. Release your genetic sequence on CD
2. ???
3. Profit
Sorry, couldn't resist!:-)

As an artist and musician (albeit a digital nerdy one!:-) ), I'm strongly in favour of making music (and in fact all creative work) 'opensource' - in the sense of copyleft / GPL style licence. Maybe 'Opensource' is not quite the right word in this case as music is already opensource - you don't have the clear distinction between hidden source and open 'product' that you get with software. In the creative arts everything is, and always has been derivative (it's a meme thing!) - sampling is just an enhanced form of memory after all, so let's get over it and get on with creating. People created many wonderful works of art before copyright was even a blip on the horizon.
Interesting site, among many, is The Free Music Philosophy at www.ram.org/ramblings/philosophy/fmp.html.
Although, to play devil's advocate, the coding of the author's information into digital media files could also be a way of ensuring the upholding of an 'opensource' approach. After all, the copyleft principle does rely on proving copyright exists!
My tuppence worth - oops, dammit, given away the fact I'm British!:-)
