Subject: RE: Copyrighting A Traditional Song
Previous Guest, apart from the reason Richard has mentioned, the arrangement with basic nose flute accompaniment would be a different arrangement from the one this person had registered. Likewise, this person would be unable to prevent someone else from performing a different arrangement of the song. However if they were to perform his arrangement for 300 + cat, then he would be entitled to royalties, which would be paid through the PRS fee the festival would have already paid.
