    control over your own work

    He can still control his hands, can’t he? He can still decide whether he goes on stage?

    How is it his work if someone else learns to perform a song he wrote? How is it controlling his work to say someone can’t copy a recording of someone else playing that song?

      You realize that those rules also protect a lesser known artist getting their work stolen from a far more influential artist too right? It’s generally a good thing that a super successful artist can’t just copy a lesser known song and reap the benefits for it.
