Subject: RE: Origins: Song Ownership-Tommy Makem
Thank you all for the good advice. I appreciate the effort of so many. I am still concerned of one thing tho'. If a young performer decideds to record and follows the "Correct" procedure for the recording licensed stuff through Harry Fox, that person may end up paying royalties to someone for a song that is labeled as owned by a particular author when it is clearly public domain. The license agreement doesn't state that it is an arrangement and the song is otherwise clear. Does Harry Fox or the faultily identified author return the money?
