As I was naively trying to locate a fully fleshed eq.preset file for Audacious, it appeared that the "original" Winamp presets may well be...under copyright?

This of course would totally explain why they are not distributed with Audacious. Have anyone heard of a musical software freedom forum where sharing equalizer presets is the usual thing to do? The Winamp presets may not be the ultimate match anyway.

The idea that I can't tweak the equalizer on my own home theater system because a combination of settings is copyrighted feels a little absurd.

Now I am afraid of inadvertently stepping on the 18x11 original Winamp™ equalizer preset matrix black hole blob of oblivion©.

So I have applied to patent most audio frequencies in my regional area, as a countermeasure against sound trolls.
