Thread Name: Lyr Req: Bob Dylan's Dream (Bob Dylan)
Subject: RE: Req for lyrics to Bob Dylan's Dream
I'm all for the folk process, Ray. The thing that bothers me is that "last step" that has been added to the folk process by Dylan and others - filing of copyrights on what started out as traditional songs. Copyrights stifle the folk process. There's gotta be a better way, a way that protects the rights of songwriters without stifling the natural evolution of songs. -Joe Offer-
