What does Cop Con mean, is it like Irish for "Traditional" or something? Is it an abbreviation, etc.? |

I saw it after two songs: "The Ramblin' Rover" (Cop Con) / "Whiskey on a Sunday" (Cop Con). You get a lot more search engine results for "copyright control" than "cop con" -- I am still not crystal clear what it exactly means, as copyright are awful complicated, but I am happy to know what Cop Con stands for. THANKS. |
