Leadbelly : When The Boys Were Out On The Western Plains

[mrjimbopalmer]

Seriously? Claimed infringement on a Leadbelly song?

[likatyga]

Thankfully I have it on LP bought second hand from an op shop long after the great man died. This song is part of the folk music lexicography. Folk Music is music for the folks. Hands off big business!

[WolfeBear]

odd; the sound button was set to silent and would not change.

Who is the copyright owner? How can we find out? Who contacted whom to pull it? How do we know they own it? What's their lawyer's name? Who gets the royalties? If there are no artist royalties, are the copyright holders passing the savings on to the public?

[MrDogrose]

Copyright owner be aware: you have offended rosa canina. Huddie's dead. You have no standing.

NO Lead Belly NO Beatles- I didnt make that up George Harrison did! Go to the indiegogo site & look up leadbellyfilm

Bazdmeg!

This is a folk song.  Therefore no one owns its rights.

Assholes!

fuck wmg

in the words of Bill Hicks...."..anyone here who works in advertising or marketing....kill yourself"

[FutioN1]

omfg how can WMG take the audio off a Leadbelly video, this is fucking pathetic. It's one thing to do it to modern songs but to a Leadbelly song.. well hopefully ppl will now go out and buy Leadbelly's album, and then WMG can hand him the royalties.. right.

@bostonteabagger71739 I would agree with you except, it also belongs to the whole world.

[7jack7]

Good try.

The jerks who "own" this stuff will have their day in hell.
