Dune - Heaven

This isn’t happy hardcore at all, is it? Anyway, neither this nor the album it was intended for was ever released for reasons relating to the fact that it’s obviously a cover of A7’s “Piece of Heaven”. Technically you need a license to do a cover, but in America you’re obligated to issue a license for a ridiculously small fee, which has to do with weird precedents on sheet music and player pianos. Copyright law, if you ever look at it seriously, is a complete hash of scores of different systems and tweaks that made some sort of sense at the time.

And that’s not unique at all, especially in common law systems - like, if you look at how real estate is handled, there’s a ridiculous amount of formalities and weird fakery that has to do with the history of ancient English lawyers trying to work out ways to buy and sell land while technically complying with the feudal imperative that land ownership may not be transferred except by inheritance, royal intervention, or conquest.
