I agree. (I'm currently working on a proposal for a dance/technology
project where we're being very careful of the IP issues arising, of
which there are several.)

I guess I'm just a little saddened that dancers and choreographers no
longer feel that they can turn up at workshops with their own
favourite (commercial) music and work with that - and I'm saying that
as a professional sound artist and composer, where it's clearly in my
best interests that music is commissioned rather than "found."
(However, the more that choreographers develop their own personal
libraries, the more articulate they seem to be in terms of working
with composers when they get to that stage.) For public performances
and full commissions, it's clear that music should be sourced and
cleared in a professional manner.
