Re:Bob Dylan? (Score 1)

its funny that you jump on him for this, yet fail to mention that throughout time he has liscensed out more songs than just about anyone and charged VERY little for the rights to them. have you ever wondered why there are literaly HUNDREDS of dylan tribute/cover albums? (im guessing its not because hes a royalty whore) why so many people (hendrix, the dead, guns and roses, simon and garfunkle, peter paul and mary, etc) have covered his songs over the years? (i dont think its because they wanted to give dylan a dollar for every album they sold) he lobbied for the extension of copyright for ownership, yeah, youre right, but does it look like he really abuses copyright powers? not to mention the fact that he deliberately covered warren zevon songs for the past 5 years just so he would HAVE to pay royalties so he could help warrens family cover the mounting costs of his cancer treatment and susequent funeral.
