Michael Jackson's THAT strapped for cash???... or just that mean?
What happened to those nice American ladies who wrote it all those years
ago, then?

But here's a PS:
"Publishing" includes typesetting more than one copy and handing it
round to friends: writing out a copyright tune by hand, copying it by
any means and distributing that:course music of any sort: workshops:
and so on, and so on. Yes, really - I'm not kidding.
In practice we get away with it, but anyone who does any of these
things without specific permission should be aware of what they are
doing. One day a litigious composer / copyright holder could come
back and get shirty.
And don't copy out Happy Birthday for distribution: people in the
States have been prosecuted by the copyright holder (Michael Jackson)
for doing just that.
Anyone who *really* needs to know the potential danger areas in
Northumbrian music of which I am presently aware is welcome to
contact me - offlist.
