MtheMG,

Leaving aside my original comment which was not meant to be too serious, you have touched on an important point.

You refer to the Coppers' versions of the songs they sing as "(c)Coppersongs" which touches on the issue of what copyright they are entitled to? I suspect their attribution should be "Trad arr. Coppersongs" or something similar. Are there versions sufficiently different for a copyright to stand up and so make them truly "their songs"? I don't know the answer and I suspect that if you asked the lawyers you may well get as many different answers as the number of lawyers you asked.

In the meantime, we will all sing the versions we individually prefer and that is how it should be.

PS. I don't think I've put that very well but I hope you get my drift. G
