if anyone doesn't know, this was Apoptygma Berzerk - Love Never Dies

but the actual original -- the music was out of copyright, but the choir was not (recorded later)

mirrorbird (23:58:15)
anyway Rapture, basically there was a REAL GOTH CLASSIC with some old choral -- and it turned out they couldn't use it, so the re-release of the CD had this awful characterless synth sound instead of the choir

maybe you could pay £7k a year for chinese genius and some camera-equipped rockets.

mirrorbird (23:56:16)
sounds cheap now, jesus, i'd pay £8k a year for good crisps

mirrorbird (23:56:06)
in the old transport days i worke on Google Maps stuff which was written purely theoretically, because they hadn't decided if they wanted to pay £8k a year to google, but they wanted to be ready.

ive never seen released code that was withdrawn due to ownership. but i have seen lots of code that couldn't be released for that reason

mirrorbird (23:54:56)
yet another reason to be "loosely coupled" lol.

i think it's pretty uusual for anyone to claim (c) on your code, but if Oracle says "you stole our NON-OSS library", ok, you write your own (this is good practice for doing APIs)

next time we talk, Rap, ask me about Apoptygma (norwegian band) and i will bore you with sample copyright. but you probably know that already. goodnight.
