If an article by Calvin Mooers in *Computing Surveys* is correct, someone
may have indeed been taken to court and convicted for just such a thing.
The case cited was one in which a church choir director made a simplified
arrangement of a song for his choir to perform in church, and sent the
arrangement in to the publisher.

So, while I certainly bear no ill will towards IED (quite the contrary),
I'm sort of glad I'm not him at this point. :-)
