CONGRATULATIONS
2015 #MUSICIANS Learn what % of fractional shares to each copyrighted musical composition is 'controlled by ASCAP .'
DON'T WORRY
You are not violating copyright law by singing or chanting a folksong or playground chat or song and
hearing
on your computer, mp3 player, or or phone. You do not need a license to sing a song or hear it
"publicly
performed" in public. It is legal to submit your song or chant to NCFR online repository And Hear It
Played.
ASCAP is not owed any royalty for the "public performances" of your song if played on a ringtone
in
a restaurant. The Copyright Act has a specific exception,
17 U.S.C. 110(4)
, that covers
performances made "without any purpose of direct or indirect commercial advantage."
Congress has decided that many activities should be beyond the reach of copyright law, including not only
the
performances covered by Section 110(4), but also
fair
use
and
first sale
, among other things. It's thanks to these exceptions and limitations
that
libraries can lend books, you can use a TiVo, and Apple can sell iPods to help you get the most from your CD
collection.
The Supreme Court held that because it's a fair use for you to time-shift TV, it's also perfectly
legal for Sony to sell you a VCR to do it. Sony did not have to run a second fair use gauntlet for its
commercial VCR-selling business. There's no infringement liability for the customer, there can be no
secondary liability for the company that sells the technology to hear the music, just like setting up a
"remote DVR" service doesn't make you a direct infringer when customers use it. If it's
noninfringing for you, it's also noninfringing for a technology company to provide you with the means to
do it.

Bawdy Song Policy
You have to make connections between "disciplines."
Teach your songs in Context.
The Foggy, Foggy Dew" was regarded as only semi-printable until the 1950s. Burl Ives was jailed in Utah for singing it in public around 1940.
One person's bawdry is another person's innocence. A clear definition of what constitutes Bawdry:
Is
a song that exists to talk about sex, as opposed to a song that exists to talk about something else. An
example is a song about attempted rape -- but it's not a bawdy song, because the point is how the women
saves herself, not a catalog of what the rapist attempted to do.
Wash your mouth out with soap.
Explicit Lyrics Policy: Freedom of expression is to be encouraged and protected. Sexually explicit and Bawdy songs lyrics have always been an integral part of children's rhymes and folk music. We do collect submissions with dirty words. and you'll find dirty ditties if you do a keyword search of our database for bawdy . If you're going to post something spicy and think you should label it, that's fine - but there is no requirement for labeling here and visitors are advised that they read at their own risk. If we can help people learn to explore life on their own and to think for themselves, we've taught them a valuable lesson. Material intended for a mature audience, may irritate parents of children under the age of sixteen. Keep this in mind, if they don't understand it, it's not really much of a problem, and if they do understand it, they didn't learn it from the NCFR project.
