Actually I think the case about the choir director was even more
interesting:  the choir director had made an arrangement of some
song and thought that the publisher or composer might be interested
in it, and sent in his arrangement with the notation that the
publisher could have it free of charge, to duplicate or do whatever
he wanted to with it.  The publisher sued and won, on the grounds
that the act of making the arrangement was making an illegal copy.
I don't have the exact details but can look them up if there's
interest...
