I thought Freepers were in favor of property rights.

Property rights (probably more properly called "interests" in the case of intangible property) for composition was supposed to be of limited duration, unlike say the deed to a piece of land. They broke the compact when they paid Congress to ignore our interest and over-emphasize theirs. They deserve no sympathy.

"...each song in an album is a movement?"

Most of the old Moody Blue Albums and pretty much all of Al Stewart's albums were exactly that: common-themed and pretty much progressing one to another.

Swear allegiance to the flag, whatever flag they offer;
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly for, someday, sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still.

Gross overreaching by the industry coupled with political corruption has certainly hurt their cause. Unlike many libertarians, I’m a firm believer in copyright protections, but no rational person can support the current set up.
