So glad you mention that fact RD...it's been a discussion from time to time on this forum and there are varying responses. I'd love to know what will keep the paid vultures from stealing songs from struggling artists just to pass it along to someone who doesn't need it and to take credit for what is not theirs. It makes you wonder when you read a lyric with unique characteristics and then see it be a hit song from someone else a year but with slight variations. Wish there was a way! Even with a copyright it doesn't seem like we're immune to this risk. I don't know that it happens often enough though..I only had one lyric that I thought was used for some other persons song. It was about mothers be good to your precious daughters and a year later a song comes out about fathers be good to your daughters? I wonder if the artists even know that their scouts are stealing ideas from others? ------------------ My Sound Click In a time of universal deceit, speaking truth is a revolutionary act", George Orwell MySpace
