Wk1: Copyright: Interesting Paradox

All,
Since we are talking copyright, I think of this situation.

Consider this....

My Aunt, just Passed. she has only one child who is "unavailable", but upon her passing her legal matters were in the hands of her niece.

these links to records she sang on were found on YouTube. Who owns the rights? The record company. My Cousin, Her son, (You Tube?)

Interesting, is it not?

  1. great tunes! Alas, it's my understanding the recording company owns the rights to it's recordings unless the artist is like Prince and found a legal loophole to buy back his work. Looks like BMI owned/owns the rights to these recordings. Wow, talk about a great piece of history.
