I think in most cases Bach was a work for hire; he got paid, and didn't
own his music after that. A very common occurrence today, too (I write
software for hire - I don't own any of it after getting paid).

Cheap duplication has caused many of the "problems". Back didn't have to
contend with electronic duplication of his work. If the works gets
published for "free", then how do you make a living?
