Thread Name: Tunes - their place in the tradition
Subject: RE: Tunes - their place in the tradition
Perhaps I should have put it in capital letters.

"A work may be contemporary, and in copyright, but anonymous (=anon). This problem is one of the flavours of this year for copyright lawyers, who call such works "orphan works"."

Therefore there is a difference in law between "anonymous" and "traditional".
