Terrible idea Brian! Although ASCAP will like not having to pay royalties any longer. I bet several decades ago you thought differently. Now you embrace the AI production of music. Thus, why you’ve changed. Leaving my music & royalties to my sons gives me a heartwarming feeling. A great gift to leave them. So, why cut this short Brian, why not make all one's property and savings public ownership after one dies? No different.

On a similar note, it’s sad to see so many of my old school friends changing their beliefs. Most of my friends were conservatives back then. Now I see so many of them are far left with Socialist’s views. I reckon now that they’re old, they want government to take care of them.

I'm with you on this one John. Leaving behind property (in what ever form) to living relatives should be a right of the one that created it
