Larry,

Not unless copyright laws have changed over the years. In America, one who copyrights a song is good for 28 years and then it has to be copyrighted again or it becomes public domain. Actually, there are many songs that fall into the category of public domain and is the reason why many artists perform them on recordings, thus, no royalty fees. With thousands of songs available on the Net FREE, I don't think "Big Brother" gives a damn, Walt. It boils down to pick and choose with the system for making examples of violators. I think it would boil down to a songwriter making a complaint of hearing an illegal recording of his/her song before anything would take place. Sooooooooooooo, what's it all mean - let's go on sharing our ideas and songs and telling the prosecutors to kiss off.
