Fine, I'll bite: Beethoven will live long after you are dust and entirely forgotten as a momentary errant thought of the Universe.

If I were a contemporary composer who was releasing copyrighted musical works, I might be humbled by that thought. Since I'm not, and I freely release my internet presence to the archivists of the world, I'll never really go away.

I regret making such distasteful (and false) statements, fellow Human. It would have been better for me to pass over the above unreasonable ("petty artist") comment of yours and desist from further interaction on this topic. We clearly have a difference of opinion regarding creative work and associated "entitlements".

Go in Salaam and happy St. Patrick's Day.

Thanks for the kind words. I shouldn't have been so quick to bait you into an argument either. We'll have to discuss it further in the future.

The question remains if you have ever even arrived.
