No, those were done in the name of enforcing performance rights, which is distinctly different from copyright. Copyright, for one, is mentioned in the Constitution, while performance rights are no. It's really crucial to maintain the distinction between the two, seems to me, and getting all bent out of shape about the idiots going after the Girl Scouts (ASCAP will surely lose in court if EFF or somebody else steps up to defend the Girl Scouts) clouds the issue of copyright and downloadable scores. -- David W.
