I mean, every song will be from nowhere and every song will be from anywhere! The Koreans will be claiming "Danny Boy" as their own and once again the Chinese will be insisting that "Over the sea to Skye" is really only "Over the sea to Formosa" in disguise. The origins of songs will become so corrupted, distorted or downright plagiarised that they will cease to have an origin. If they lose their origins then they will lose their traditions. If they lose their traditions then Folk music collectors will have great trouble making meaningful collections for many of them, given that invariably the first thing we what to hear about a song is where it is from.
