You're saying you, the author, own the idea of a song, not just a
physical representation of it. If this ownership is legitimate, then no
one may possess an MP3 representation of the song without your consent.
If it isn't, then someone may, regardless of your consent or lack
thereof. Either way you're not laying out any money to produce the MP3
version. Oh, yeah, and eat a bag of dicks, cretin.
