Thread Name: The Myth of Ownership
Subject: RE: The Myth of Ownership
Take Tom Dooley- after the record company (and Kingston Trio) made millions of dollars, Lomax and Warner (mainly Warner) decided Frank Proffitt should have some of the money (and he was dirt poor- my grandfather knew his father- in- law well they had no money). I'm fine with them getting Frank some money- but he didn't write Tom Dooley - he got it from his Aunt Nancy Prather- plus it was already recorded many years before!!!

So what to do?
