And then when you pass, your next of kin will get rid of it in the trash bin.

Try that with "Thick as a brick". Or John Lord's "Gemini Suite", I bought
thatone just for the cover.

We've had that discussion many times and the majority of people, nearly all of
them that is, do not understand. As an author you cannot sign-away or sell the
creative rights of a piece of music, a book, etc... It stays. The main problem
here is the weakness of the english language where "copyright" is a
multi-faceted thing understood by most of the not educated into the art as
having only one meaning ....
 
Way way back in time it was announced that Michael Jackson bought the rights
of the Lennon-McCartney portfolio at Northern Music... after that "Yesterday"
"She Loves You" "Help" "A hard days night" still mentioned 'Lennon-McCartney'.
Michael Jackson was cashing-in on the sale of the music (in english
'copyright', in dutch 'commercial rights") but McCartney and the estate of
John Lennon were still cashing-in on the airtime (in english "copyright"
still, in dutch "creative rights") ...
