Thread Name: Copyright Questions - Collection of Old Songs
Subject: RE: Collection of Old Songs-COPYRIGHT QUESTIONS
If you want useful replies, then you need to tell us exactly what your 'collection of old songs' is.

Is it a book you think is out of copyright? Is it a body of material you have personally copied from various print sources over a period of time? Is it a collection of songs you have directly noted or otherwise recorded from singers? If so, were these, so far as you know, traditional or revival singers?

That would be a start. The form of words you quote suggests that you found the 'similar version' you mention at 'GEST's' Newfoundland website. When asking questions of this sort, please tell us everything you already know: vague generalities lead to time-wasting and won't produce helpful results.
