Thread Name: The right to sing?
Subject: RE: The right to sing?
Aww, c'mon guys, didn't you cotton on from the start? Go back to the top and read Roger's initial posting. Anyone who knows him from his Mudcat (and internet) history over the last 3 years would have guessed that this was never about the "What song" and copyright, but about the "where" and licencing - that's the bee in Roger's bonnet. In fact, he alludes to that himself just a few posts later when he states that the "where" concerns him more.

The read my first post on this - sequenced and phrased exactly so as to draw out of Roger the real issue he has: pubs and licencing.

Note also that he did not rise to the suggestion that he should start an organisation to promote the causes he espouses - he knows better than that, of course! His ego is fed much better by the single-voice-in-the-wilderness approach, and any team effort would dilute that.

Finally, his insistence on pushing Folkiedave to disclose information that Folkiedave honourably wishes not to, indicates the streak of bloodymindedness and malice that I referred to in past threads. Not a simple troll, Roger, not just a simple martyr for his cause; he also wants to hurt others.

I agree with Folkiedave, this thread has run its course. Open another one, Roger, we'll see you there. I wonder what the next pretext will be...
