Well, this is different in that you are copying the hit single. Also, hit singles have different rights from GPL programs. > Now, if you can show my anything in copyright law, or in the GPL, > which makes any kind of distinction about the mechanics of how control > is passed from the part of the work as a whole which is represented in > one file to a part of that work which is represented in another file > then I'll be happy to talk about that issue. That is just the problem. Copyright law does not say _anything_ about passing of control. It deals with copying. So, if you are not copying a work into another work in order to produce a derivative work, copyright law is silent upon the issue. Thanks Bruce
