That is good to hear. I am sure people could still sell CDs without paying royalties, but I think most of the people who put cover songs up and try to sell them do so digitally.

not when your talking about free speech
weather you change one word or 100 the right to be able to make that free expression is still the prevailing principle.
arguing you have a right to take away that free expression based on a word count is censorship plain and simple.

I'm not sure what you are talking about here. Are you now saying that if you copy someone's work word for word and post it online that is covered by free speech?
I can't buy a Stephen King book, copy it word for word and post in online with the simple tagline of " this is my favorite stephen king book I hope you like it" and call that free speech because I added commentary.
