    The guy behind 'Ask Video Music Business 101: Copyright and Mechanical Royalties' seems to think you can :dunno:

    Who owns the copyright for I-IV-V in the keys of A, E, G, C & F??

    I'm a billionaire, I own the copyright of the 12 bar Blues progression in all keys. :break:

    Maybe I could buy the rights for a 3 tone 2 octave minor upwards arpeggio too? :wow:
