re: #235 Captain Magic
Any artist that isn’t in control of their catalog is a moron.
So, basically most of them. I’m not in control of most of the software I write. A Disney worker cannot publish any art; it is all owned by Disney. Papers written and published in journals are owned by the journals; a writer actually has to get permission to cite their own work in later papers. Music contracts include clauses about what control the artist has vs the company.
