People today might not be aware but Robert Fripp (of King Crimson) championed this back in the 90s and set up his record label (Discipline) to enforce it.
The notice that he put on the CDs was eloquent:
The phonographic copyright in these performances is operated by Discipline Records on behalf of the artists, with whom it resides. Discipline accepts no reason for artists to give away such copyright interests in their
work by virtue of a "common practice" which is out of tune with the time, was always questionable and is now indefensible.
