That's what I said. Performers should get royalties on any official release, and opening them up legally could actually promote that as it minimises opportunity for black market bootleggers. It's only the big labels who would be undermined if they lost their monopolies on the recordings. Stuff they currently withhold might become more freely available too, which has to be better for everyone else.

John Lennon made a point forcefully when the NEMS sale was going through in 1969. He complained that if he picked up his guitar and wrote a song, instantly somebody else owned it. That's not right.
