You can't lost the 'Urheberschutz' IMHO this is translated with 'copyright' But you can give others the right to copy your work (license). If you make a song, you have the 'Urheberschutz' aka 'copyright'. You give a musik company the right to sell copys per I-Net, CD, ... and you get some money (copy license). Normal they don't have the permission to change your work etc. Gruss Grisu -- Michael Bramer -- http://www.feuerwehr.kreuzau.de/wiki/ PGP: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Linux Sysadmin -- Use Debian Linux "...anytime you install something new on the Windows platform, you risk spending the next five or six hours trying to figure out what happened" -- Robert Roblin, Adobe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
