No Haruo, there are laws that punish those who violate copyright, but there are no laws to punish claiming a copyright to which one is not entitled. And so people claim fake copyrights all the time.

I have read about the copyright laws in encyclopedias, in books and at the copyright office's own site. Except for the welter of expiration dates, copyright law is simple. And it doesn't say anything about protecting the mere re-arrangement, or the mere reprinting, or even the mere editing of anybody else's creative effort. However, I understand your desire not to get in a brouhaha over this.

But thanks for the scan, anyway. It will be interesting to hear from Mudcatters who are trying out the tune.
