  Too bad that many artists don't actually own their own music. Their
recording companies do. It's really twisted, but that's how the contracts
work (and the musicians usually don't go challenging that).

  For example Warner Music is infamous among artists for removing music
from youtube which has been composed by the artists specifically for youtube,
and uploaded by the artist himself. Warner seems to think that they own
*all* the music created by the artists they have contracts with, regardless
of when and for what purpose they compose.

  I suppose no artist has even taken this to court, and I can't blame them.
Would you?
