I wish Microsoft well in their endeavor.

You should write your song. Date it. Sell it.

Then if someone claims the song is theirs make that someone prove to, you, you copied their song.

Bullies will only abound if you do not confront them.

If the song sells you should have money to afford a lawyer.

In any case it sounds like you have some research to do on legal web sites.

Then we should stop creating new ideas and repeat the Dark Ages again?

I believe you are referring to Intellectual Property Law. I am not a legal professional but I know if I find out someone stool my song I have the right to sue. The same is true if my song is a copy of previous work. The owner of that work needs to prove my work to be a copy.

It is likely many ideas will be repeated but some will be new and unique.

Just because it may be a problem does not mean it will be a problem.

The right thing to do is never get discouraged. The important thing to do is methodically, constantly, Politely, Respectively continue your message.

As a businessman I believe Open Source Software reduces cost so an individual with a new idea can Quickly and for Under 2K get his message out.

Lets me make one thing perfectly clear I am against Child Pornography or anything that takes the rights away from an individual.

That does mean someone can NOT!!! make someone do something in The United States of America unless they have a contract and a court agrees with the dispute.

That being said, my First Wife worked several years for Larry Flynt Publications, LLC (maybe inc ?) when I was a student at California State Polytechnic University Pomona during the years form 1987 to 1990.

It was refreshing to hear a progressive American businessman tell me how he started his business. A struggeling Engineering Technology student in 1989 needed some inspiration.
