So is Aural Exciter a copyrighted name?  Aphex is still very much in the
business .
Doesn't Aphex have any kind of control over the use of the term "Aural
Exciter"  in the same fashion that Dolby owns the rights to that term for
it's noise reduction circuits. Does this mean the  Yammy is actually using
the authorized Aphex effect system? I've seen other companies refer to
effects they call "audio Enhancers" and other such terms that imply the
same result but are surely not the same as the Aphex system.
