Default Re: Back Home in Derry

Thanks for the *search* tip, Peter. I knew there was a way,
but was too sleepy last night to figure it out . . .
that and *navigation* in general being smarter than I am.

Re: Copyright Infringements

Wierd Al pays for the rights to do his parodies. In America,
Music Clearance is Big Stuff. Pretty much that way legally on
the global scale, too - supposedly.

But, in the midst of The Troubles, I doubt proper channels were pursued.
When a song like *Back Home in Derry* takes on a life of it's own
[grassroots style] it's likely beyond the point of asking to record it.

However, any recording of the song up for sale to the general public
*would* indeed bring Gord writer's royalties. Bobby Sands isn't much
bothered by it all, being dead and all, and likely didn't have a publishing
company to oversee his work.

Blessings,

Rez
