Thread Name: Copyright info for Wade Hemsworth songs
Subject: RE: Copyright info for Wade Hemsworth songs
thank you so much. I had stupidly assumed that a song so widely known and recorded would be really easy to track. And I did go through a professional agency...but I appreciate any effort on my behalf. I will license at first 300 copies, and if it sells (this is a really small process, plus I give a lot away out of th at 300) I will reorder.

I also will probably include the White Water (also known as Log Song I believe but i will look that up ) so it would be for two songs, 300 copies each.

I do usually do at least a rough copyright search before commencing, but in this case I thought it would be a piece of cake. I also try to keep copyrights to a minimum by including songs of friends, or traditional songs, both for financial reasons (this is a bare bones operation, done mostly to spread the songs and/or group them together around a theme) and to avoid the hassel, potential of lawsuits etc. Think ahead people as to how much interest you have in going on wild goose chases at times.

But anyway, thank you all.
