Well, it was actually ME what said the above (not the HST quote that is). 
What else needs to be explained?  Hunter's quote doesn't merely make 
sense, 
it illustrates a part of business reality that isn't being addressed by 
the 
Law, amongst other entities - a part ruled badly by special interests 
trying 
to maintain (even more badly) a dead monopoly over the publishing, 
performance and usage rights of music and other media.  Is that better?
