Yes. I am a raving, non-compromising anti-copyright zealot who'd say that any day of the week you'd be in the right doing what you did regardless of what the composer has to say about it -- but it feels much better with consent and I'd rather just not use something of an artist who did believe in copyright and who didn't want to cooperate with me. I don't really need the grief, the bad will, or the sour taste. That's why in practice I tend to behave as if I respected copyright. I still want to cooperate on a voluntary basis with most everyone.
(OTOH "subject rights" is another matter -- wanting to capitalize on a production monopoly like copyright maybe wrong in my book, wanting to avoid misrepresentation is something else; if the composer had some anti-lojban reasons I'd want to respect that. Like, I can't dig if someone has economic reasons to prevent people from downloading and listening to their music, but I can understand if someone doesn't want to unwillingly be used to represent a company or a political entity they disagree with. (My big problem is that I can't get these two opinions of mine to co-exist -- either you can control what you produce or you can't. I'm a horrible self-contradiction.))
