The other Thread prompted me to ask the question concerning 'intellectual property', and royalties, and such like topics, and your opinions in such matters. What 'rights' do artists have?

All depends if they sold the rights to someone else. Since you are basing your question on performance artists, if that artist makes a contractual agreement with me to make a recorded performance, then that recorded performance is mine. If he/she doesn't like the performance after and doesn't want it released, that's really too bad. If I want to have a long-term relationship with that artist I might place releasing it in abeyance, but that isn't a legal or moral obligation, it's just good business if I want to make some money down the road. :)

Depends on the contract they sign, and the behavior of the counterparty in executing the agreement.  Artists are not so special as to deserve any special rights.

Was I shooting for a Napster type question here?

Did Metallica have a point, or were they just acting like Kiss?

Does Karl EVER get paid? ;D

What do you mean you don't understand? I have never been clearer in my life! :P



The question is: Is there 'gain' in creativity,... or, is 'talent' God given, and, as such, should be free?



oh, pooft,... I don't know what I'm asking. ??? :-* I thought there was an angle in there somewhere. Commerce vs. Creavtivity?

That isn't an either or question. The two options are not mutually exclusive.

I see.

I guess the Napster thing is the closest to this argument that I know of, and Classical Music doesn't appear to be effected?

Composers aren't being screwed?
