Me and my friend made a movie years ago, and we used music from Grandaddy among many other bands, and we got a message telling us Grandaddy was ok but the rest we were being warned about. I don't care about copyright laws, I use what I want, and if people don't like it they can sue me, and they'll be spending more than they get.
Artists don't need to be protected. Copyright laws are balanced up on the notion that an artist deserves constant recognition and payment for what he's accomplished. I think he can just worry about accomplishing something else and forget about the thousands of people who are going to copy and use his work in their own ways anyway.
We're lucky they don't copyright notes and chords, then no one could do anything. One day they might copyright genes and blood types, then people would be having sex just to birth babies they can sue.
