Full agreed with the common sense part, as copyright law is often complicated, even for attorneys. but I still think even 'sensible modifications' is still a modification, especially if the original author has an issue with it. In terms of your wonderful metaphor 'love song', sorry I cannot comment , as there is no cell remotely related to any music in my brain or toe. :) Best, Manhong
