I'm not advocating this for real, 'cos it would be breaking the law!).

For instance I do it often. Question is: when does somebody happen to be a great composer? I do not really believe that this should be directly linked to the fact that he/ she is an icon in popular culture. The answer- according to me is : history will tell. By the way.

That sort of approach made , no still makes them overlook their great ones. I'm not even talking about Ives or Copland. Just have a look at http://netnewmusic.net/reblog/ Pff.
