While I can't speak for everyone, I seriously doubt it, mainly because 
it is simply too hard to trace and they tend to go after the obvious 
places they think they can get money from rather than even try.  Like 
threatening the manufacturing plants who have a capital investment in 
their equipment and business far more substantial and liquid than any 
small OKOM band is likely to ever have.   They have something to lose, 
unlike most starving bands that do not even operate as a real business.

Cheers,

Tom

Subject: CD rights

   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?...............
