i have been a few meetimgs over the years with the music industry types who were lobbying to change the copywrite laws"to help the artists"

i have suggested many times that if they want to "help the artists" all they have to do is make original copywrite un transferable by law to anyone but the artist. then only the use could be rented and only for a few years at a time. well you should see the look on their faces at such a suggestion.

however that is the only way to actually prevent the carpetbaggers exploiting other people's music.
