We ought to get after the people who think they own the copyright on a Charlie Parker record. The purpose of copyrights is to protect the listener (in this case) from counterfeits and protect the interests of the artist. The artist has been dead since 1955 and, if there is a counterfeit, we'd like to hear it. "Intellectual property" is 90% nonsense. We ought to fight it. My experience is that after I complained to the offending company (in the UK in the case I attacked) they put the video back. By the way, I own https://www.jazzandclassical.net/ with which I could use some good advice. I am in Houston (I tried to set up https://www.slimwiki.com/wayburn/jazzandclassical but slimwiki keeps taking it down or else it stops working on its own.)
