Copyright infringement has nothing to do with whether or not a publication is "making money" or not.

However, it may be difficult to get attorney interested in pursuing a supposed violation when there isn't any monetary "reward" available.

As for Band in a Box, I have found that if you work with the program long enough, as I do when just practicing, and when doing so I love to invoke a new or different style on the same old tune in order to try things, or in order to learn things, or just to make the practice session more interesting, there will come a time when you can instantly recognize use of BB in someone else's presentation. There will indeed be that telltale lick, riff, or somesuch "giveaway" if the creator of the piece just blanket accepted one or the style's or realtrack's often encountered "definitive" phrases.

It am what it am.
