Your comment above. I agree, creating a collection of sounds is not a
service, that is UNLESS you intend sell it. Which makes it a product to be
sold.

I was in the pub last night, and a guy asked me TO HEAR SOME OF MY MUSIC ON
HIS PC. I suddenly realised that there was a demand here and
money to be made, and so I agreed to LET HIM HEAR MY MUSIC for 15 QUID, but
I didn't actually give him THE MUSIC, I sold him a license to PLAY IT WITH
CERTAIN REGULATIONS ATTACHED. My COPYRIGHT LICENSE restricted him from
giving the MUSIC to anybody else, after all, those SOUNDS WERE my property.
He was drunk, and dismissing me as a loony,
but accepted my MUSIC (and by implication the licence which governed
its use) anyway. Of course in a matter of minutes I noticed a friend of
his asking TO HEAR THE MUSIC and to my outrage he gave his MP3 to
his friend and pirated my SOUNDS! I was furious, I started to make my way
over to that side of the bar but to my added horror his friend then started
to LET OTHER PEOPLE HEAR MY MUSIC left, right, and centre! Before long that
whole side of the bar was enjoying MY MUSIC without paying me anything.
Enraged I went from person to person grabbing their MP3S from
their hands, throwing them to the ground, and stamping on them.
Strangely the door staff exhibited no respect for my property
rights as
they threw me out the door.
