Dear Folk Police, I can usually hide behind the fact that if a song is already in the database in the form of lyrics, then it should be legitimate to add the tune as well. I need your interpretation of the relevant folk laws in this regard, and what action if any you would propose to take. I note your disapproval of the contributor who was foolhardy enough to post the lyrics above. Given that this song is not yet technically in the archive, perhaps I may need to consult Justice Greenhaus. If you are considering prosecutions I would not hesitate to point the dexter at Mr Joe Offer in the first instance. While I am sympathetic to Mr Offer's intentions I doubt that this constitutes an offence on my behalf.

Regards John
