Compulsory licensing = theft, buddy.
Misappropriation, not theft. These aren't material goods. You might also read the Wind Done Gone ruling and reexamine exlusive rights to see what you own under copyright in a work -- hint: it's not the work. I'd also recommend for reading 17 USC 115, "Scope of exclusive rights in nondramatic musical works: Compulsory license for making and distributing phonorecords", providing for compulsory licensing for distribution and making arrangements (covers) of a work. http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/115.text.html Peace. -- Karsten M.
