I think we're blowing this up. IMHO I think Greg Eden added the line
"Sean and Rob were offended by this.." just for effect/impact, and also in
a *general* sense.

What "Sean and Rob" (sorry don't know them :) *really* think about this
specific case I think very few of us know.

| All you composers out there should take this to heart.

Being an unsigned composer myself I try to get my music "out there", and if
I'd be signed I'd have no problem whatsoever with my music being made
available for free to the public - BUT being _signed_ to a company means you
agree on a set of points and so I would respect my record company stopping
this kind of action. If for some reason I didn't like what my record company
was doing, I'd leave them.
