It bothers me that some people seem to think Dylan perhaps should not have released some of his tracks or should somehow not have been allowed to - thus robbing us of them. (A world without "Don't think twice" ? - unthinkable).I'm for anything that EXPANDs music and against anything that would tend to restrict.
And as for the commercial aspects - does anyone really believe that Bobbie himself had much influence over contract/copyright issues?
