People said, ‘Oh well! But you know, you’re complaining about copyright, but copyright is what protects you.’ … and that made me look at what copyright was doing for me. I’d never really looked at it before. And I did, and I read, and I also thought about Annette Hanshaw’s songs and how obscure they are, and wondered why, and realised the reason they’re obscure is that nobody can share her work legally. And then I thought about my own work, and I thought, ‘Do I want to be obscure? Do I want nobody to see my work a hundred years from now?’
