Subject: RE: Is traditional song finished?
It's unlikely that there will be any unattributable songs for future generations, as a result of technology such the device upon which your eyes are trained.

The reason why songs are 'trad' or unattributed is surely just down to the method of distribution of the song.

Now that just about everyone can record and distribute their own songs, the authorship should hardly ever be in doubt.

So, does that mean that traditional song is finished?
