Max, I also agree that you are doing the right thing. I find it interesting that for all their bluster, HFA was only able to identify 16 songs out of 8000 that they could insist you remove. This is only 2 tenths of one percent! I hardly think the hairy fox would look good in court quibbling about the DT, especially given your cooperative attitude. As RiB said, the lawyers are reserving the right to hassle you further, should they find any more songs they claim copyright to in the future. I don't think you need to lose much sleep over this, as it appears to me that once you refused to roll over immediately, they backpedaled considerably.

I think we should all be careful about sending copyrighted lyrics to the DT, so as not to inadvertantly get Max in trouble. He has done (and continues to do) us a great favor by building and maintaining this wonderful site for us to get together and swap music, stories, and general conviviality! I'll get off my soapbox now. Thank you for listening.
