When I think about copyright and other forms of intellectual property and debate a band owning the rights to its works I often ponder all the rights..
When they play a concert or share their music via CD/cassette/itunes etc and the purchaser plays for their friends..
once that tune hits the air and my ears, is it really theirs anymore?
Its is a fact they wrote it but how can they own and control the rights of distribution to something that now exists in my brain.
I will never accept their want to imprint something to my mind and then control what I do with it, I'll be honest that they wrote it.
if record companies or profiteers take issue with this, I see this as their logic being broken along the line of a complex system with a confirmation bias motivated by domination and greed.
If they were in hard times and asked for gratis I would take no issue supporting them if I had funds.
If someone wanted to setup a gratis system for distribution, I also take no issue with that.
If they want to play concerts and make money for work, that's great!
To enforce royalties though is not good. Creating inequity for the poor and their right to art.
This is hard for some people to realize for its a battle of our times and not well defined but it is state enforced mental feudalism and a aristocracy and ownership of data that exists in our minds. Sadly even this system subjugates the artists often.
I refuse this system’s decrees.
