Julie and I this evening recorded As I Roved Out, which I believe to be a traditional song, and put it on YouTube. As sometimes happens, someone immediately claimed they owned copyright. Is there a way in which the can own this? Should I raise an objection to this claim? Can I feel confident in doing so please?

I've tried to understand Google's instructions, but they are opaque where you're dealing with a traditional song that someone may claim. I would say it's pretty clear that our performance and arrangement is all our own.

As I Roved Out

If anyone can help with this issue, I would be grateful.
