Yup McGrath,we do disagree.   I feel that Woody was singing about the right to share America's property and wealth and to remove restrictions that prevent everyone from sharing equally in the dream. From what I've read and heard in his songs, I believe he is talking about SHARING and everyone having rights.

Let me ask this - if you are a painter and you are inspired to create a painting of Obama, Pete or Bruce at the event - would you be required to give that painting away for free?   

Woody wanted people to sing his songs and in print encouraged people to sing them without regard to "rights", but Woody did make his living on his songs and performances.

A cable network should have rights too - and all the personnel who participated to stage and cablecast the event deserve to have their rights and welfare protected.   Sure, it would be a nice gesture to make it available to all around the world, but in the end - this was not a "public event" in the same sense as the actual inauguration is.
