Blogs, as far as I know, are often a bit rough. I don't have anyone proofing this for me except for readers. I have several colleagues who said they could never blog because they would obsess about revisions and typos and so on. The write/right bug is still in my brain. It is the RIGHT to copy, not write. So, thanks CB. CBJ: I stand corrected! and I am not an authority on copyright, I know something but only understand a bit of it.

Wrong root, you understand; it is "right" and not "write." As I have previously posted, these little typos tend to weaken your authority in the matter you are discussing, which would be a crying shame. I'm sure you want to be considered a rigourous authority, as much as we all want you to be!

I taught a Rufus Wainwright course and it appeared that all of the songs on my reserve list, after I listened to them, ended up on my desktop, albeit with strange names... Wesley, well that’s good.

BUT.. From the two courses I've taken in the music/music history departments, UCLA music courses stream music examples via a secured website that does not offer an option for downloading. I'm sure a crafty person could figure out a way to get at the files, but not without a bit of effort. That being said, I'm proud of the University for taking an agressive stance on testing these preconceived norms that bare little legal precedent.
