it would probably mean that everybody would go around stealing every body elses tunes, songs or whatever, and redoing so them so they could make a fast buck, like with currently popular music. Hell, this year Freddy Mercury is dead for 5 years, and we had three remakes on his songs! and they where awfull, but they sold.

of course, it wouldnt' really be folk then, because we would know who wrote it, when, and where, and it would become "pop" music, as in popular
