...which has always been sensitive to copyright infringement. and which has
now entered into a license agreement with MCPS-PRS Alliance who collect
royalties on behalf of its constituent composer and publisher members as
payment for the use of their original material.

it is ridiculous to suggest that every cover should be paid for.
No more ridiculous than suggesting anyone who creates something original has
to do it for free.

If you want to talk about people using music for profiteering, then the
likes of me are not the culprits. Look into the behaviour of companies
like Live Nation and Sony/BMG.
Not the issue here, but it is the old Napster pharisee excuse of "Well
they're worse than me, I'm liberating the artists from them"

Thank you, Adrian.
I was about to take a less restrained approach.
It *is* amazing what kinds of mental gymnastics some folks will
participate in to rationalize their behavior.
The Internet is not my living room, nor anyone else's, all claims of
"things have changed" aside. If one likes the song well enough to put it
up _in public_ then one should be willing to compensate the composer(s).
