Well, it was actually ME what said the above (not the HST quote that is).
What else needs to be explained? Hunter's quote doesn't merely make
sense,
it illustrates a part of business reality that isn't being addressed by
the
Law, amongst other entities - a part ruled badly by special interests
trying
to maintain (even more badly) a dead monopoly over the publishing,
performance and usage rights of music and other media. Is that better?
