Dear Rae Ann,
Glen and Butch will certainly be able to give you chapter-and-verse, 
but in the meantime check out the following site for the background to 
Harrison Smith's legal claims.

When we were growing up in jazz in the 50s Harrison Smith wrote a 
column in one of the US jazz mags with stories about Jelly Roll Morton 
while pushing his copyright claims.
Jazz Research or Record Changer, I think.
I will need to check my magazine collection.
Kind regards,
Bill.
