Greg, It is about respect, it is about courtesy and manners it is called asking the permission of the artist, if you cant understand that, you should not be on the folk scene.,
GREG I am not interested in your recordings,
on that particular recording of a track from that LP the one Kennedy IlLEGALLY COPIED, it stated clearly,...copyright exists, any unauthorised broadcasting public performance, copying or re recording of such records in any manner whatsoever will constitute an infringement of such copyright, application for public perfomance should be adressed to PPL GANTON HOUSE 14 TO22 GANTON STREETLondonW1. you may or may not approve of PPL OR this law protecting recording artists, but if you or Kennedy or anyone else do this you are breaking the law.
if you think that recording something illegally and putting it up on FOLKTRAX is morally ok, and not a dubious practice, you go right down in my estimation, do you really believe we should not have a law protecting commercial recordings from being copied.
Kennedy did something dubious, illegal and immoral and unnecessary all he had to was ask me politely, one phone call, and I would have happily given him an lp
