    Lyrics are not poetry

    To each his own on if you listen to or care about the words / lyrics to songs. I think more do than don't but I do know folks that don't give a rats ass about them. As a songwriter and lyricist it kind of shocks me. Growing up in the late 50's and as an adolescent of the 60's with 3 older...

    set up my cel phone after hospital discharge then being arrested

    The legal system is screwed up, jails are screwed up, the games people play are screwed up. Dylan had a clever saying that is a truism.... Money don't talk, it swears. If you're fat in cash, money is really helpful in playing the rigged game. If you're just a normal working class hero...

    set up my cel phone after hospital discharge then being arrested

    Brother Beak life is a strange trip full of heartache, happiness and randomly generated moments that we sometimes cause ourselves good or bad and sometimes we have zero control over. The one thing you do have control over is your choices and decisions I found that my life is less complicated...

    SM57 - thin sound - fixed! Very unusual fault, but pictures xplain it all.

    It is a combination of Marketing and getting the consumer to want to drink Kool aid as opposed to brand x. Then pushing the envelope as hard as they can to make as much money as they can without compromising sales. Basically what the market will bear. If enough people realized that the $25...

    Anybody know anything about copyright law? Kind of a unique question...

    Again the chances of this ever being a financial thing to fight over is HIGHLY unlikely. That said, they were given to you by your Dad.. He gave them to you, not you and your sister. He made no mention of if they are ever worth anything you need to share 50/50 with your sister. Guess what I'm...

    Sorry I didn't read all the post till after...You own the poems.. He gave them to you. They are yours to do with as you wish.... If they make any real money you will need to get them copyrighted in the U.S. if you want to sue anyone for infringement.

    Anybody know anything about copyright law? Kind of a unique question...

    First off a though your Dad's poems are in theory "copyrighted" they are not protected by US copyright laws until they are officially copyrighted at the USPTO.
