Recent Ownership Questions

Now that Prince has done American Idol doesn't Simon Cowell and AI own his performance from the show? Can't they use it on a CD or DVD and profit from it? If they wanted could they make a Willam Hung/Prince montage or use them in the same clip? Does this make Simon Cowell the most powerful man in the music industry?

i would think that Prince would not have signed a contract to appear, if his image and likeness was used in such a manner.

Is that the case with all the star guest like Stevie Wonder or Elton John? So there's no chance of Cowell using this one one of his Cd's or Dvd's?
