We've gone through this before - I can't be bothered to do it again, you aren't going to change

you really believe that the copyright act is so unconstitutionally flawed it legitimately allows that level of control.

When people sample or cover, they aren't just using the same words in the same order - they are also using the melody and musical phrasing.
So to be honest, yeah, I have no issues living in a world where that person has more of a say with what happens to their creation.......and "if" someone wants to use it, they get clearance and if need be, pay for the right.
Otherwise.......we have an explosion of untalented and uncreative people using the works of others......great, I can get tons of music for free but at the cost of real creativity.
