Ok well say you don't reproduce the song. You cut out 2 seconds of it. You could argue that that's an entirely different song. The point is that they can't own knowledge or control what you can do with that knowledge. Once I see how 'ginger' works, I have my own knowledge of it. They can't take that away. Sure it's reasonable to regulate the selling of the patented or copyrighted product, but to regulate how you use it is just wrong. Like I said, if they can say that reproducing a song on you computer is illegal, then they could say singing it or playing the song on an instrument is illegal, too. They are all just reproductions of the song.
