And yes, I do have several copyrights to musical compositions.
Unfortunately, no hits...yet :(

I have several myself; maybe they'll be worth a little bit after I'm dead. I have always wondered how they decide what is original, acceptable, etc. They have to at least look at what's there, don't they? Would they let you copyright Mary Had a Little Lamb? How about a set of chord changes (which are specifically non-copyrightable)? I understand the gist of your post, just annoying that they can't at least take a few seconds to determine at the most fundamental level what they're dealing with. Of course, the price of copyrights would rise exponentially, wouldn't it?
