[Dixielandjazz] CD rights

[Richard Stevens]

Hi all,
Here's a question, Has any OKOM performer in the modern era (say since CD's
came out) ever been prosecuted for avoidance, or even investigated for
breaches of copy write? Seems to me based on the low quantities and arguable
differences between the original chart and the improvised nature of the
recordings now, that the problem is finding a manufacturer who will do the
run without the paperwork?...............

regards,
Richard Stevens

<Dear Ed & All:

Do you really think the Harry Fox agency or ASCAP is going to come hunt 
you down to try and collect royalties on 1000 CDs, and discover that 
you still have 700 of them in your garage, and that you actually can 
prove that you gave away another hundred to your friends and family?    
Highly unlikely,  they are looking for deep pockets to stick their hand 
into.>
