totally agree with Chav on this , this copyright business is a load of cack , why the heck should Cliff Richards still be making money from some song recorded 50 yrs ago , or loopy Yoko still making money from some song her dead hubby wrote 40 yrs ago , I look at a song the same as a piece of art (painting/sclupture) that the artist sold for 20 pounds 30 years ago , now 30 years later the guy is famous and the subsequent owner sells the painting/sclupture at Sothebys for a million , does the original artist get a cut ....no way ....... another example of how cocked up the copyright laws are .......no way can the song ....'Happy Birthday to you' ...be used without permission in a film or stage production without paying fees to the copyright owner
