The ones I know certainly wouldn't mind. Then again they are talented
artists and not money grubbing oiks.

Would you expect the more normal organist to play for free too?

I dont think anyone was suggesting that artists be asked to *perform*
for free, It was merely said that most would not object to their work
being played (legally or otherwise) at a funeral.

Unless the artist had some special connection with the deceased or
bereaved, I'd certainly expect to have to pay them.

The whole point is, nobodys playing for profit or making any money
over playing the tune, yet this jerk tells us we should be very
careful or we might get in trouble. Only a gr1 arsehole would post
something like that over a funeral. It's not enough someones loved one
is being laid to rest, but now the family is supposed to worry about
the cops showing up ands arresting them for playing a tune. What a sad
jerkoff he is...

"Money grubbing"?? You mean you think that this guy should let the
bereaved family weasel their way out of paying him 30 cents royalties?
I hope he sues those *******s for his 30 cents, yeah, that'll teach
'em to steal HIS tunes. sarcasm insertion ended

Completely irrelevant to the topic.

I can't really see the difference between a funeral and anything else. If
the deceased was poor and those paying for the funeral also, then maybe.
But otherwise things have to be paid for in life or death.
