The widow is exercising free speech. An artist (or his heirs) cannot be forced to have his expression used in a way he (or they) disapprove of.
If the widow only wants serial killers or circus clowns to have the right to use the recording, she can. Free speech guarantees her right to free expression---or silence if she chooses.
This is a pretty basic American---and capitalist--value.
But with so many people knocking American values and capitalism I am not surprised that someone objects to the concept intellectual/artistic property. I am surprised to see someone arguing against free speech while claiming to argue for it. That was a pretty neat trick.
