<<Autechre has thought about this, according to an interview I read, but
have held back because supposedly you can only copyright a specific
recording, so people could legally resell the music generated by such a
cd. Personally I think that's crap, there must be a way to handle the legal
issue, but I'm no lawyer.>>
Couldn't they simply copyright it as a software CD rather than a music CD?
Besides, I have plenty of (copyrighted) music CDs that have computer programs
on them (KRS-1 and Penal Colony come to mind first), although nothing like
that. <shrug> I'm no lawyer either, so I'm probably vastly oversimplifying
things. (Anyway, it's not about the money: it's about the music, dude =)
