Subject: RE: I've lost my Catholic music page
Interesting page. I wonder what the copyright implications are.

I recall back in the 70's the publishers of the St. Louis Jesuit
stuff got quite shirty about copyright. To the extent that the
small campus community with which I was involved had to desist
from displaying song lyrics on an overhead projector and raise
money for the individual copies of two volumes of their works.
(This was the beginning of my disillusionment regarding the
true allegiance of the Society of Jesus.) If fact it wasn't
good enough to buy the books...they insisted we use them,
which we didn't want to do because we didn't want everyone
staring down at the books; but even if we had a copy for
each person in attendance we STILL weren't permitted to
project the lyrics!
