Dr. Howell,
Just a technical point: while Blake Richardson, the author of the post
to which you responded, did, indeed, quote David Bailey, Blake was the
author of the bit of the post post to which you responded, not David.
The problems arising from attitudes towards copyright (and I would note
that not a single one of the items Blake linked to actually deal with
copyright, but rather without exception they deal with the slightly
different area of performance rights) are complex, partly because of the
different laws and regulations in different jurisdictions, and partly
because of the sheer numbers of players involved, and I submit that one
of the necessary predicates of that complexity is the fact that there is
no single, simple answer to the problem, and indeed, not even a short
list of causes.
