[RandomThoughts]

1. Actually he shared the music with many people.

A form of speaking, sharing his feelings.

It is only said to belong to some group for money reasons beyond the reason copyrights were created.

So not only doesn't all music belong to him, when he shared that song, he says it does not belong to him. And if you can see some correlation to your life in the song, then that shows it does not belong to him. Although most systems have some form of compensation, like mild copyright laws so singers and writers can be paid to do work. And entertainers need some form of copyright, probably... But do companies need millions in profit for decades? I don't think so, and that is not why they are used, much of it is used to be able to control what is seen by people.

Current Copyright has nothing to do with paying people that make things, but is about information control and profit above value of actual work done.
