When it comes to touring, the non Blackmore band have done very well. I guess they have had more people attending over the years than Blackmore purple.
Which isn't surprising as they had much more time to attract people. Moreover, their setlist show how much power Blackmore still had when he wasn't in the band any longer.
Sure.

Re: Who owns the name and who has the power in Deep Purple?
It seems that we often forget, that these songs were written by Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord and Paice. Surely Blackmore was the main creative force during the first three or four years in the seventies. But without the other four these songs wouldn't exist. At least not in the form as we know and love them.

Exactly.

The songs were credited to, not written by.

This is important to remember. The fact that all MK II songs from IR to WDWTWA were credited to B,G,G,L,P it does not mean that they were written by them.

So you mean Blackmore wrote the lyrics..? And that Glover didn't come up with riffs and ideas to Speed King and Smoke just to mention a few?
That Lord didn't have this special touch in the music that made it .. deep purple?
That Paice don't have his own unique sound to make him The Purple drummer?
That really it was a one man show..?

Re: Who owns the name and who has the power in Deep Purple?
The "important" thing for me as a fan is about "who owns the name" is....... continuity.
Legally.... When Gillan or Paice retires, can they continue as Deep Purple?
Legally.... Is there gonna be problems if Coverdale or Hughes will take Gillan's place?
Does Thames has a say in case of a break-up?
That is the questions. 😀🤑🤔

But who on earth said any of the above? The vast majority of the songs in MK II were written by Blackmore, Gillan and Glover, a fact recognised in many interviews by JL.
Where have I ever said that DP was a one man show?

Re: Who owns the name and who has the power in Deep Purple?
The point about continuity is interesting. Could the band survive another lineup change and are they likely to? It seems as if the chemistry and balance is just right how it is, with Gillan as people suggest being the decider of most things but Glover, Morse and Airey providing the music. Could anyone leave and the band continue? Surely couldn't go on without Paice.

Re: Who owns the name and who has the power in Deep Purple?
Let me clarify one thing, particulrly after reading Concrete God's comment: one thing is to perform on a record, another to write the songs. There are two distinct levels of royalties in the music industry, one regarding who actually plaed on each song, and another related to who wrote the song. Let me make an obvious case: when DP covered the Beatles, JL did add his special touches and Ian Paice did show his unique style, still the song remained credited on DP's album only to Lennon/McCartney. Likewise, just think of the session guys who play on tons of records; if they received writing credits for interpreting a song in their unique way, the very same uinque way that got them the job, they would be the richest people on Earth - yet, they do not, of course.
Having said that, what is confusing to many s that DP shared writing credits equally from 68 to 76, and some assume that therefore all contributed equally. It is not like that, to the point that one of the conditions that Ritchie set when re-uniting in 84, was that members should only get writing credits for the songs they actually helped to write - and on Perfect Strangers, by pure coincidence, the tracks where Lord and Paice appear are a grand total of 2. Why did they initially split 5-way? Because it would have meant that the writers in the band would have been paid twice the money of the non-writers, and it would have created a lot of arguments between band members who were, at the time, roughly on equal terms in terms of popularity. At the time of the reunion, this had all changed and neither JL nor IP had the power to k
