To clarify my reference to Ride On.

Yes - precicely my point. At the top of the thread the writer was identified, and lower down other arrangements were mentioned. But that did not stop one poster quoting a section of lyrics and crediting them to Christy Moore.

Now, either that person just hadn't read the thread, and was re-stating his own ignorance (we see a LOT of that), or - more likely - he'd merely done a cut and paste from one of the many web sites which blithely credit songs to people who've recoded them, rather than to the original author - something else that needs to be addressed.

It's all part of the same problem: A lazy attitude to accreditiation, which is widespread in the folk world, which leads to all the losses outlined above.
