I loved this. I ... sort of sat here for 30 minutes trying to add something and I can't really do that. I will say this:
I think that art, music, writing, whathave you have a personal and a communal value. Once notes leave my piano I don't own them anymore. I created them, yes, but other people now have them because I gave them. They can twist them, they can use them, they can sing them and I won't be offended if they make them THEIRS. Taking what I created and saying they created it is wrong, but using it, playing in it and reveling in it is human nature.
