Re: [linux-audio-user] Cactus Data Shield copy controlled cd's

Really? I've never heard it played quite like that on any other record. Still, I don't think 'originality' matters to some people - as long as they're honest about the lack of it, I don't mind! I suppose the problem is that some people believe if they acknowledge all their sources, it weakens their case to be identified as the composer. I don't think it's the case in all traditions - for example, in reggae it's quite common to have a version with only minor adjustments put out under a completely different name and title. I think the assumption is that if you like music, you'll know where the original came from. Like the organ part on 'Double Barrell' by Dave and Ansell Collins, which is quite clearly lifted from 'Lay Lady Lay' by Bob Dylan. Cheers Daniel
