On a similar theme, are PRS still insisting that organisers of folk events fill in those stupid lists of songs and pay for the privilege? I remember there was a lot of bile as a result of this when it first happened but I haven't seen much in that way for the past 3 years. I think most people made up a list of titles and put 'trad arr. after them in the hopes that Paul McCartney and Elton John weren't adding to their millions out of it.

My twopennorth, if we want our music to remain in PD then we need to accept that anyone can use it. I don't have a big problem with this, as long as they don't put their (c) on it and start charging us to sing our own songs. I haven't actually come across this happening anywhere so it probably isn't rife.
