Re: Correct copyright info on a filk CD

This is exactly why I am just paying the royalties via HFA (So the
composers get paid) and Roberta has been told, next CD (if I decide to
do one and I may, but more likely as part of a compilation), the songs
allowed are the following -

Traditional
Filker tunes where I can easily get the OKs.
No Commercial tunes, if possible. I really don't want to deal with
paying outside the filk community, if possible.

It turned out that 1-2 songs were just under the pay royalties side of
things. (1930s).
