Well we finally agree when all the words and terms get filtered out.
I've never been in that situation as a primary party, but I have been as a
secondary party where some work I played keyboards on was being used by a

I got *scale* so it didn't matter to me but I was notified of it.
The problem was the tune was public domain but the performance was not.
It was an honest mistake and was fixed quickly.
