about Mudcat....several years ago, the Song Police wrote Max and demanded that he pay or desist from hosting 'protected' lyrics.....after some back & forth in which Max worked kinda hard to get THEM to specify what lyrics they were concerned about, we finally showed that MOST of the DT was either trad., or approved. I think there were a very few songs which were removed, but a number of artists/authors specifically wrote permissions to have their stuff here!

I suppose it's possible the issue could arise again, but we are pretty small potatoes in this struggle.
