Okay. That certainly clears things up a bit. I'm wondering, though... Is there a site online where we can check to see which songs are still held in copyright and which aren't? Most of the albums that I have, which have not been available since the 70s (much less on CD), include songs such as "Blue Hawaii" and "Beyond the Reef." I'm sure these Songs are still held in copyright by someone (Michael Jackson, perhaps?) even though the individual performances are out of print and unavailable.

I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass or a spoilsport about this. I just hope there's some way we can all figure out a way to share what we have that is, pretty much, impossible for others to get.

Also, (and this is the Edited portion of this post) I don't recall anyone ever mentioning selling anything in this thread. I think everyone involved in this thread has been aware from the get-go that we're talking about Sharing - Not making a profit. It's a fellowship thing.

If I had a friend who loved the Fog Cutter, I would give him a copy of the recipe and suggest that he buy the "Grog Log." I would not photocopy the entire book and give it to him. I hope Jeff Berry would be alright with that.

I really don't want to stomp on anyone's toes with this, but I hope we can TRADE music in much the way that, in the 80s, we traded Mix Tapes.
