At last, it have hapend!
A american court have ruled in fawor for Genesis!

Genesis sued a composer/musican for using ONE
snare drum sound in a tune. The musician had as
the court ruled sampled, reversed, down speeded,
bit reduced, effectoriced, reversed it back and
then used that sample in a tune!

Fantastic that the court had the infinitive wisdom
to judge the way they did!

I simply wonder, how could the jury find that the
sound was the same? As far as i know sounds can 
not be copyrighted or can they now? 

KD (as heard from national radio broadcast news).
