And if J.S. Bach had ever traveled to England, I'm sure he would have been
locked up.

I stand corrected, nonetheless. Make that "Well, that was just what they
*did* back then before mundane things like copyright laws existed in Germany".

I should also add that it was *really* hard to prove copyright
infringement, even if the laws existed. Especially when things moved from
country to country.

PS: Neat book. Thanks!
