    Personally, I think as long as royalties are paid, there is no such thing as permission

      I think that there should be permission. An artist (singer, songwriter, arthur, artist, etc.) should have some control over their material.

        Agreed.

        But when the artist has signed over rights to another party, that desire for control is irrelevant. Successful artists make millions of dollars by selling their "catalogs" to third parties.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Give Eddy a break. He’s a one hit wonder and likely needs the money. Badly.

              Not so. He had two UK number ones, and had a million seller with an earlier band.

              I was only joking

                UK number ones don’t count.

                But I do like ElectricAvenue. Good song.

                  Then set the royalties to $1T. It would be how permission is implemented.

                  Unless you’re thinking the government would set royalties.

                    The royalties are usually set by who owns the catalog. I'm no music attorney, but I suspect older songs like we're talking about shouldn't be that expensive.

                      That's right. Didn't Michael Jackson own the Beatles' catalog for a while?
