I favor a recycling symbol. Simple, well-recognized. I don't want my work
stolen, I want it transformed. Nobody could argue that stealing a pair of
tires is recycling them, but a pair of shoes made from an old tire is a
work of art.
That being said, I do include a copyright on my albums. Why? Because I
think that it is right for copyright to cover piracy. I would be unhappy
if Sony sold my album and kept the profits. Currently, a recycling symbol
is an artistic statement, not a legal one.
