Ah, yes...in Canada and Europe (but NOT in the US of A...?!), sound 
recordings
fall into the "public domain" fifty (and a bit) years from their being 
neutered...er,
"fixed"...!

The good news is that if you can prove that the offending party actually 
used
your transfer...you may well have a legal "case!!" The BAD news is that, if
you elect to dispute this matter, you will need a lawyer...and THEIR rates
start at about $300/hour, and rapidly go UP therefrom...!

In fact, the end of the world as we know it will NOT be nuclear warfare...
rather, it will be the last two lawyers left standing, in the ruins of what
USED to be a court-room , each trying to sue the other for a sum
of money...!

FEH?!?!
