For what it's worth - I'm as sceptical as most of you about Murdoch and his T&Cs (hey, I was living in Wapping when he moved in and remember how he got the local police to protect his workers instead of keeping the neighbourhood safe).   What we decided to do with my music samples was to keep them deliberately low fi, so if anyone (RM or someone else) decides to rip them off - or "own" them - they're not getting the best quality recordings.   He can only claim the recordings, not the songs themselves, so that should be some form of control.   It has resulted in one unpleasant message from someone who decided to inform me I should invest in better recording equipment, but I think I can cope with that level of feedback. But we may decide to pull out of the whole thing - so far the main messages I've been getting have been from fellow musicians anyway.
