Call it what you wish; what you call it is more semantics than anything
else. The difference I am bringing up is that when you purchase a
chart, you are not purchasing "the right to use the chart for a
specified time". It is like purchasing a book. You can read it any
time you want, you can lend it out, you can share it with friends. If
you download a tune on some services, you are most emphatically =not=
allowed to listen to it anywhere you want. You may not share it with
friends, and after you've played it a certain number of times, it
evaporates. You are paying for the "use" of the tune, but you are
paying for the =book= itself.


Your description of the music download senerio flies in the face of the
"fair use" doctrine.
