Jim, thank you for the explanation. One more question if you don't mind - you said your friend donated proceeds from the recordings to a Traveller's Education program. Does that mean that your friend had released the recording commercially? I am not sure how he would have received proceeds if it wasn't a commercial release. If that is so, when he gave a copy of a commercially releaed recording to Peter Kennedy which was then released on Folktrak, it would seem that your friend would have certain legal standing and precedent to sue.

It boggles my mind that someone could have done business like this if there were so many "issues", such as those we are hearing in this thread.
