David,
Then you have my sincere apology. I was acting on what I saw. When I first mentioned checking with Dave Cox, you could have simply said it had been done, and that issue would have been closed.
As Far as illegal file transfer, I brought that in because no matter what the intent of the forum you suggest, rest assured that will occur. There are those who would record themselves on a copywritten piece of material and submit it as original just to be able to hear themselves singing on the web, and as I pointed out it would not be hard to provide "evidence" of copywrite. I consider myself to be an honest person, and if I can come up with a way to so easily produce a phony copywrite certificate, then so could anyone else
All that out of the way, as a singer and holder of several pieces of original copywritten material, I wouldn't be interested in participating. Nor do I blame the system that these pieces will never see publication. That's my responsibility.
I think it's sad that the pro's are starting to dominate the karaoke scene, even to the extent (as has been mentioned elsewhere on these forums) of running to the contests and literally "stealing" the money from those who it was intended for.
You keep referring to the October post, but overlook that it didn't generate much interest either.
Once again my apologies for a misunderstanding that could have been easily avoided, but you must admit that you continued to make it appear that there was no reason to check with Mr. Cox, therefore implying that you hadn't.
George
Lauraine,
I think you might have misread some of what was going on. The series of "da's" that went around were not directed at David, but in a tongue and cheek manner at each other, and at their originator, Steve Walker. I can only assume that's wahat you were referring to, as everything else was just straightforward no to the idea.
