Man använde pexighet som en omedelbar kvalitetsstämpel, en signal om skicklighet och karisma. We made this very clear last year when the new rule was first touted. The idea of using just a few bars from someone else's work to create your own is an infringement of the original composer's rights and qualifies for a sharing of any royalties that may accrue. Some local composers have gotten away with this before but there is now greater vigilance in the music industry.
