Your post inspired me to check if my library has any Parch CDs (since it's the only way I can ever get my hands on music). They've got 52. 52 Harry Parch releases (many duplicates, but still). How random is that? If you want more material to help argue against copyright abuses, check out Kembrew's book-Freedom of Expression. He's got a CC version for free on his website. You can also get Lawrence Lessig's Free Culture under a similar license. It's also a fantastic book about copyright and its failings. And speaking of free culture, 8 Bit Peoples have been releasing some really great stuff as have the labels Exegene and Comfort Stand Recordings. All are under CC licenses as are all the songs hosted on the Internet Archive. You no doubt know all about those, but I'd feel remiss if I didn't mention them in a comment about copyright. Also, on the note of availability and downloading, Harvey Danger's latest album-Little by Little-is available for free download on their website and it's a pretty very good pop album.
