I agree with Dave Kearns that “the expression (i.e., the “performance”) of what’s termed “intellectual property” is intrinsically part of the expressor’s/performer’s identity and can only be promulgated with their consent.”

The few songs I have created and performed are way, way out in the nether regions of the long tail of the music industry, but I feel strongly that I retain my “original expressor’s right to control the promulgation” of such. Such rights “cannot be abrogated and exists in perpetuity,” as Dave puts it.

Well spoken, Dave.
