The problem is that lots of composers have given away economical IP
rights, which means that a composer does not have authority to decide
over economic exploitation of his work.

In short, if Christian is a member of KODA (I hope this is
hypothetical), and you have MIDI files of Christian on your server,
KODA is authorized to demand loyalties over distribution of those
files, and Christian has no means to stop KODA from doing so (Other
than canceling the contract, which might not be possible.)
