Re: Conlang music

I suppose you're right. I guess what really gets me is the�copyrighting thing.
For example, with Esperanto, there are�plenty who sell "how to" books and
dictionaries, and those are�for profit, but no one's going to go after you if
you attempt�to learn the language on your own in your own way, and�then go
on to use it in whatever way you choose. Here it�seems like the opposite is
the
case.��-David�*******************************************************************�"A
