Why not make it so that you just can't own copyright on versions of Public domain music.

Makes life a hell of a lot easier the ai recognised this is public domain and so no one can make a claim on it.




The music or the performance of the music? Eliminating performance copyright would be a big deal.


Who owns performance rights? The person recording? If many people record the same thing who gets the copyright?


I'm not a lawyer, but I believe it's the performer.


Each performer currently gets copyright over their own performance
