One question! Can you play the Kazoo? :)
Well check out this -- http://www.nutshellhifi.com/index.html#index
The world of triodes. .
I locate the copyright owner, which (fortunately) is
still the Gershwin
trust, whose rights to the work are (unfortunately) administered by Hal
Leonard/Warner Brothers, which is a division of Disney (some of the most
difficult people you can imagine dealing with).
I can't say I am a fan of Disney, mostly because of self adverting,
still they are the only people
people who can re-release Studio Ghibli's works in english, because they
agreed to do NO editing
of the films but just translation from japanese into english.

There is yet another twist of copyright law that
accompanies the fall of
the old Soviet Union. Works that once were public domain in the USA
because Warsaw Pact copyrights weren't recognized can be in the same class
as "toothpaste back into the tube"--that is, they can have their copyrights
"restored".
While I have taken a few software packages from work to home to work at
home, like
DOS and some programimg software that never made it back later to work,
I for the most
part want to buy the software providing it reasonable. The same goes for
music , I don't mind
paying a resonable sum for music, but I don't think music needs to
re-priced higher every time
the media changes and quality goes down.
$#@! On being able to get "Those where the days" by Mary Hopkin from
Apple records
on CD. I have the used record but my cheap turntable died.
Cheers,
