My point exactly: if you build your own firm and sell your patterns under a proprietary license, this will *not* prevent anyone from stealing your work. On the contrary, it will only make it harder to track down illegal copies. > You keep up the sense of my question. How do you check a Lily midifile? It might be possible to include some specific DRM-like markers in the midi files (they do that for images), though I'm not familiar with this. And there are quite a few midi search engines out there, that have the ability to find similar files even with different names. Anyway, I think you know the only way for an author to make sure that his work will never be misused: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Drawer.agr.jpg :-) Cheers, Valentin _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
