Why do I keep having visions of Farenheit 451 creep into my mind! I once heard some arschloch state that the meek might inherit the earth but they'll never take title to it. It wasn't funny then and it still isn't. Mitigation of loss seems to be the fundamental issue of concern to any copyright owner. It therefore behooves us to ponder whether or not any loss in financial terms will be suffered by the aforesaid copyright holder. It may be argued that the unlimited access to this material poses the risk that unscrupulous individuals may subsequently use matierial found on Mudcat for performance and personal profit. However, all of this material, copywritten or not is available from numerous other sources , therefore frightened, anonymous publishers and their posturing attorneys will have a difficult time demonstrating loss attributable to the non-profit activities of Mudcat. As I understand it, no one is required to give up material or "evidence" to another party seeking to litigate without instruction by the Court for an Examination for Discovery. I know there are a lot of lawyers who are also musicians who might be able to wade through this sabre rattling and veiled threat campaign.If you are out there please shed a little light and expertise on the subject. Perhaps we should all remember that a great deal of this material is also in public libraries. Should they too be locked up and censured?
