Subject: RE: YouTube removes videos - 'copyright issues'
the worst offender in my book is thesession.org.

its not possible to input a composers name.

this ebndorses the veiw among many tune players that the composer is irrelevant.

many, myself included, are happy for our tunes to be used gratis in free-entry sessions, but not in paid gigs or recordings.

I've also asked prs to consider a 'creative-commons'-type option when we register a work, to allow free use in free sessions and singarounds.

watch this space (also for a special cheaper licence for free-entry gatherings - on which my lips must be, for now, sealed).
