No. Records cost money because records cost you money to produce. It
costs you nothing if someone somehow replicates the music that is
produced when that record is played. The product you are selling when
you sell a record is a RECORD. The "music" isn't even on there; it is in
the air and in your brain when you play it on a turntable. Otherwise
it's just grooves on vinyl. What I am saying is that it seems strange
that you could claim sole ownership of the vibrations in the air that I
experience as music.

I'm confused. Are you suggesting that becuase records cost money there
is a monopoly on music and ideas??
