I heard a story on Public Radio a while back that a couple of disgruntled Australian song writers had trademarked every possible combination of telephone touch-tones as "songs" (their reasoning is that two notes equals a musical composition). Last I heard they were fighting in the courts for "royalties" for each time ANYONE ANYWHERE in the world dials ANY number from ANY touch-tone telephone!
