The humming thing has nothing to do with *who* wrote it, and more to do with genre. Musical theater is just something people are more likely to hum/joe on the street is to have seen and remember than classical music. [Granted, Phantom of the Opera maybe not - but in general.]

That said, most of the examples I've seen, aside from Pink Floyd, are classical musicians that have been dead for over 100 years. So who, exactly, would he have paid royalties to in that case? That's before you even get into the complications created by the fact that music is public domain [note: I'm not saying he has the right to use it and claim it as his because it's public domain - just that it makes the situation messier than it already would be.]

I think it's screwed up that he did that stuff, but getting huffy that he isn't paying someone from the 1800's royalties and that most people remember musical theater better than they do classical music is...well. Silly.
