"Ah. So they have to be in the public domain to be folk songs?"
By the way Folk songs don't "have" to be in the public domain - they ARE in the public domain - nothing to do with definition - just on of those things you people never seem to want to come to terms with.
Much of the damage, apart from th "not selling what it says on the tin" confusion you people have created is that clubs have to pay PRS and Imro dues to open their doors to the public.
