Indeed, most works of art are protected by copyright,
and even an arrangement of sheet music for Music Studio
posted to a bulletin board or information service violates
the legal rights of the writers/publishers.  (If ASCAP and
BMI haven't yet pursued legal actions, I expect that they
will some day soon.)  I don't understand how the sysops
of such services could have failed to realize that..
