I believe I said great great great great grandkids. And no I don't believe I have any kind of special right to something one of my ancestors that was born 175 years before me did.

So yeah, if a person works their entire lives and wants to leave something for his family that he loves...too bad! Instead all of his musical works should belong to GideonGallery and GatorB

It's called PUBLIC DOMAIN. You probably taken advantage of it all the time. Hypocrite. Do you sing happy birthday at bithday parites? Do you send a royalty check to the peopl that wrote that song? No you don't. So you are violating your own principals.

Of course, if gideon or gator were the ones who actually DID something and wanted to leave that legacy to their children and grandchildren and their families...I think they might feel slightly different.
But that's just me. I'm sure if my name were Karl Marx I would feel more like the gideongallery types of this world.

Listen TURD don't put me in the same catagory as Gideon and nope sorry you do not get to pass your works onto your family perpetually. Perhaps you should READ the Constitution. WTF do you think PUBLIC DOMAIN is? Do you not believe in the US Constitution or not? If not I suggest moving out of the US.
