You do know Mozart carried out the most audacious act of piracy in music history?
The Vatican had successfully protected its copyright on the famous Allegri Miserere for 150 years when Mozart, aged about 14, was touring in Rome and heard a performance at the Vatican. With his famously-perfect ear and memory, he transcribed it afterwards, and released it for the outside world.
But the article talks of recordings, not of music. The world could be a better place if some of that muzak priced itself out of our public spaces!
