Guys, give it a rest ok?

Herb just started a thread complimenting PG on how active the staff has become on the forums lately and we all chimed in agreeing how cool it is and how great a company PG is for doing that.

I can't keep up with copyright stuff any more, How YT does it, how Soundcloud does it, all of it. I just don't give a damn. I used to but not now. Whatever the so called rules are they seem to be very arbitrary to me. Soundcloud itself is supposed to have very sophisticated 'bots that can detect verboten material just from analyzing the audio file. If they do I've seen zero evidence of it. I have copywritten stuff up there and it's been up for years now. I've tried to be cute and not put the correct song title up, just things like Wavetest 1 and stuff like that but I don't think even that matters.

About the only thing I understand about YT for example is if the rights owner complains they will remove it, otherwise they stay up. Out of my very extensive YT bookmarks a very small number have been removed at the request of the owner. It seems like the vast majority of artists don't seem to mind and I mean legendary names too.

If there's a problem let the forum mods handle it I see NO NEED for any of us to keep bringing it up. Just post whatever you want and see what happens. If they take it down, then they take it down.

To the OP, I like your version of this. Sure the vocals are not perfect but what folk songs are? Uhhh, none of them? Anybody really think Dylan is some great singer? Folk singers don't try to be Striesand or Sinatra. It's never been their thing to be great vocalists. Folk is all about the feeling and the words. Personally I think this is a pretty good first draft so Lingyai keep it up.
