But it's the artist that controls the rights to their work. An artist can easily say that once they die, their work becomes public domain, but if they choose to pass the rights on to their estate or their family, that is entirely within their right. Why should anyone else decide what can and can not be done with someone else's life work? My collection of photography is MY legacy to hand down to my child, just like any other collection or inheritance.

And then what about tabs and covers? If a band does a cover of "All Along the Watchtower" aren't they stealing from Bob Dylan? And aren't tab sites taking away profit from music books?

That's getting too much into areas of copyright law that I'm unfamiliar with... so I'm sorry, I have no idea.
