PatMcGee	What to do with old FSGW concert tapes? (55* d)	RE: What to do with old FSGW concert tapes?	24 May 09
Hi Ted, It sure would be nice to have a much better way to disseminate relics like these. Unfortunately, it seems that with current copyright laws, there's not much hope to do this legally. At least once the tapes make it into the Library of Congress, they will be available for researchers to listen to and study. But they won't be available to the general public to enjoy. One small hope to make things better is the 2008 Orphan Works bill (S.2913, H.R. 5889). If this passes, then we might be able to release songs where we can't find the copyright holder. As the law currently stands, if we can't get explicit permission from the current holder of the copyright, we can't release it. Pat
