      <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>
