Imagine being this persnickety about any use of a song that was relevant more than 30 years ago, and hasn't really been since.

That's why you don't use YouTube and instead use a decentralized platform.

  No. Ignoring copyright law and people's desires for their own content, isn't the solution. I suspect that using a platform where there isn't any way to profit at all is a better solution. But in this case, the CR owners have probably been burned for years and just don't want to have any more discussion around the matter. It is easier to just say no. Finding solutions that make it harder to say no seems like a better goal... of course that probably means paying them.

    The only way to get them to play nice is make it impossible for them to do otherwise. These artists all way come out of the woodwork to support some garbage laws that are used to censor the internet in one form or another or put some garbage spyware/security hole in our OS or browsers. I am fed up of these psychopathic companies making billions for old (and mostly crap) music that should have been made public domain decades ago (especially with some of garbage Cliff Richard has produced over the years).

Imagine if the Rosetta Stone was digital and all ancient text inscribed there was rendered unreadable due to some for of copyright claim and following takedown. Today we would likely know squat about ancient Egyptian language. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_Stone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_Stone Copyright laws are a good thing, but when they become abusive, then they do a lot more damage than having no copyright laws at all.

Imagine purposefully erasing your own tiny slice of history. Congratulations, nobody cares about you and nobody will ever again.
