I guess the implication is that the exact approach you were originally taking in the in-person version of the festival, wouldn’t have been allowed by the IP authors if you’d have asked them.

Which is a great reason to just boycott their works, get every piano school to stop using them, and thus starve them of all royalties.

I agree but these clubs of piano teachers are very conservative (in the meaning that they don't want to rock the boat) and it's hard to get the sort of collective action required to effectively economically boycott these publishers....
