Maybe yes. Who knows that ASCAP is under the influence of Darth Sidious? Unless you are a Jedi or you have a Jedi at the party, you will be powerless against Darth Monopoly...oops...Darth Maul.
Sorry, I couldn't resist. The analogy between Good vs. Dark in the Star Wars and anti-monopoly vs. pro-monopoly in the intellectual property is just too much that it should not be left unsaid here.

P.S. In case you wonder, "Sidious" may come from "insidious" which strengthens the aforementioned analogy. Received on Tue May 25 1999 - 23:01:42 GMT
