Ok, I'm not as well informed as most of you are. I"m from a very small town in very rural Vermont. Does all this mean, basically, that if you perform a song, for profit, and don't the author's/composer's etc. permission to do so, you are breaking the law. It seems rather ridiculous to me that a "big" firm like the Fox agency is worried about a few of us singing songs in our living rooms or around campfires or at a local open mic are infringing on some one else's copyright. (hope I worded that correctly). Do they really think we are going to make substantial amounts of money with these supposed copyrighted songs. Come on...as Heraldo would say, "gimme a break". This country is so sue happy it's ridiculous. And when a lawsuit is really necessary it's not pursued. Why don't they go after someone who is really breaking the law!!!!

Just my two cents worth. Best of luck to you Max, I"ll contribute as soon as I can, gotta pay my property taxes first though.
