If I had some unreleased Oils tracks in my possession, I would feel it would
be my honourable duty to run it past them before I would release them.
If they said it would be OK, i'd release it and donate all profits to a
charity of the Oils' choice.
No way I could live with myself profiteering (nice pun hey ?) from the work
of my all time favourite musicians.
A very hypothetical situation that would probably never happen anyway.
