I think I will also patent the "converting sound pressure to electric

We really should send this conversation to the fsf to support their arguing
against software patents. Only we didn't talk about software but real patents
here...

Hi, I am a .signature virus. Please copy me into your ~/.signature and send me
to all your contacts.
After a month or so log in as root and do a "rm -rf /". Or ask your
administrator to do so...

Geez, Arnold, you are an idea monster!
I had never considered
blue-notes OR microtonal possibilities at ALL. Well, there goes a small
fortune I could have locked up... NO, the drum patterns are NOT copyright. If they
WERE, once my head
cleared a bit, I would head directly to the USPTO and register every
damned note of the 12-tone even-tempered scale left unclaimed.
Please tell me when
you do that. I will be the next in the line to
register all the blue-notes and all the non-even-tempered notes.
Basicly I would register all the frequencies not already registered by
you... Would be really a lot of royalties.
