Joe Offer Carter Family and copyrights (11) RE: Carter Family and copyrights 28 May 15


Leeneia, I can't say that the Hal Leonard people are "throwing their weight around." I've worked with their copyright guy almost daily for the last nine months, and he does an excellent job and tries his best to be honest.

But since they're publishing our book and they manage the Carter Family copyrights, what good does it do them to fight to have Carter Family songs declared public domain? Admittedly, the rights belong to Peer International and Hal Leonard simply administers the rights, but why should they shoot themselves in the foot by fighting the copyrights?
