I had often the same problem (Dowland, Narvaez, Milan, Bach...). I just disput the claim and usually they automatically withdrawn. Last one was about "la Cancion del Emperador"... I disput the claim (by Harry Fox Cie) but they maintain it, I had to delete the video, then to post it again, they again claim on it and I argue in the disput with the fact it was published in Spain in 1538 (so public domain), that I played myself, from the original source and I add the following text : "Music and lyrics published in 1922 or earlier are in the Public Domain in the United States. No one can claim ownership of a song in the public domain. Public Domain music and songs may be used by anyone . . . without permission, without royalties, and without any limitations whatsoever." And sayed that the Harry fox claim was an abuse of the copyright laws. (I find the text quoted here : http://www.pdinfo.com/ ) I think it is important to write : "Public domain", "original source", and to mention the date of publication of the music played (and country too).

I'm not in it for the money, but coorperation claiming Greensleeves simply feels wrong. I also post 'fingerstyle covers' of pop songs (I've just recorded Paradise by Sade, early music of sorts. I will upload later today). Obviously these are far more popular, and obviously there are copyright holders involved who claim their share. Fair enough. But Greensleeves ...
