It was NOT a patent on music.

It was a patent on simulated musical performances... which is probably the dumbest patent ever awarded.

Games such as Guitar Hero, pay fees to use music in their games.

In fact, I would argue that games such as Guitar Hero have actually increased the demand for the real thing. I say this, because that's exactly what happened with my son. After becoming an expert on Guitar Hero (completing "Stairway to Heaven" on "Expert"!!!), he now has 2 electric guitars and plays on our church worship bands. He wants to go into the music industry.

The people at Gibson have lost their minds.
