Hey Paul,
so you come to a generative art mailing-list that existed long before 
you, and ask about people's ideas about generative music and rights, 
and when they, with their personal experience - and not the least, 
express point of views that don't fit yours, you just refer them to a 
lawyer... That's not a very constructive attitude I think.
I think that your basic error is to think that law is an exact 
science. It is not : laws are always interpreted, and laws change, 
there are grey areas and your are, interestingly, adressing an issue 
right in the middle of one such grey area.
