<p>What?</p>
<p>Please explain how that makes any sense at all.</p>

<div>Knowing what/where/when to record, having the expertise to do
that, and compiling it into a product that's good enough that
people want to hear it or copy it is a creative process that
warrants intellectual property protection under the law. It's
pretty obvious that if someone works hard enough to create
something that others want, their efforts deserve protection
from theft.</div>

<p>Ah, so you meant that once something original is recorded it <i>can
be</i> copyrighted. That's not how I read it.</p>
