I mean, millennia ago, music was only live, and the musician could stop if they so chose.

  And they couldn't stop anyone from reproducing it however they wanted after hearing it or seeing it written down? Their work (ie. the song) could be presented however anyone felt like it.

    I think there's a meaningful difference in a "reproduction" that's a perfect digital copy of the artist's performance, and just playing the same song yourself.
