Of course, you are correct...to a certain degree. But again, I was not trying to address the conducting of the business of life under an oppressive, tyrannical regime. In most places of the world music is legally available to everybody. Nobody would deny me the right to procure transportation; I can't afford a Ferrari so I drive a used Saturn. Nobody would deny me the right to sustenance; I can't afford to nightly sup on caviar, so I have come to favor the burrito place on the corner. Nobody would deny me the right to make music; I can't afford Minkoff Editions, so I swap for xerographic copies of PD material amongst friends.
