just do it
copyright is an insurance policy ,not like one
innovation comes from bitting and not leaving any dental imprints we just don't like straight bitters ( pittbulls mof**...they just can't let go) About that insurance ,you keep on paying the premium just in case that dude in DC has his cousin that moved to LA with the cd (hopefully duke made it big by then so you can just collect)

If homeboy makes it big, then sue his A*S....

that's your only recourse.
if the one who lifts your tune get large, then you get paid. now having said that... i'm assuming this hypothetical situation is an original piece of music and not a sample of some older music that you hypothetically put a new beat to. a local DC band puts out 'the overnight scenario': 3 in the morning, the pancake house. 4 in the morning, we'll running to my house 5 in the morning, the lights go out 6 in the morning, she'll put it ... 4 months later JayZ has lyrics in his song that are very similar. it only works if the artist involved makes legitimiate money. otherwise, you are trying to get blood from a crip.

Check this.... I could sit here and name dozens of times when mainstream artists stole, borrowed, sampled, whatever you wanna call it from the less fortunate.
Quick example - We got this underground group in Providence called AOI (Art Official Intelligence) ring a bell..... Nice group of kids been workin hard for many years tryin to get out their. Anyway De La Soul comes to town and they get backstage passes because they play the venue often. Everybody is partying havin a great time. De La Soul says they're looking to start a label and these kids have their type of vibe. They of course give them a copy of their CD. 6 months later De La Soul drops their album titled A.O.I Art Official Intelligence. fuckin shady Anyway the point is this...could they sue...yeah probably....would they win...probably....can they afford the attorney - no

guard anything you do like GOLD - don't give it to anybody - its okay to let them hear it, but even if they are delasoul or jayz or anybody DONT GIVE COPY OF ANYTHING unless its something that you don't really care about.
When I go to a music lesson, I never bring my lyrics, and I only bring parts of songs, I never send my teacher wave or sonar files. Its really a dog eat dog world. Yeah, you gotta jam with people, & then they will hear some of your ideas but without a hard copy it will be hard to retain. I'm sorry, but those guys were really naive to trust and give thier CD away. Copyright is only PART of the battle. Guarding your treasure like viginity among the wolves is the other half.

in regards to the kids who were raped by de la soul, if they have a strong case they can go present it to a lawyer and if the lawyer deems it possible to come out on top he will take the case and not charge until the case is closed which means the kids would probly win but dam to steal a name thats just weak I could understand a song or even a hook but a name to use as a title of an album and how many copies did de la soul sell again but them kids should look into it even if they only have the name registered at the county court house and flyers showing thier name along side de la soul that should be enough because that proves they had the oppertunity to take the name from that group and if it was registerd at the county court house as a DBA even more proof

actually this AOI thing is not as bad specially if De La signs these kids
it could be seen as some sort of introduction or name recognition and as pointed out above they've used the name for something different keep in mind the names of the albums not just AOI Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump and AOI:bionix they didn't give the name to another group in L I or something and quite truthfully the name is not original as i have thought of if my damn self no lie (before Dela) and i'm sure i'm not alone artificial --art official original /don't think so Dela will sign these kids they will come out as the Super Tongues of Native and sell millions All rise the honorable L'espion Noir presiding: No case-- get the f-out of my court and no you can't have you cd back
