One way to achieve owning all the song rights is when you are presenting your interpretation of a public domain song, i.e., not copying another version.

Regarding the PD it is challenging but assuredly possible to research whether or not a song is in the PD and for which country that applies to. For every PD song we have posted here I did extensive research to determine that it was actually in the PD and that, consequently, we would own all rights to it. The result of this research was the production of PD songs that we have had licensed by Mood Media with no ownership issues.

I'm not trying to be didactic or self-righteous...just presenting our decision and perspective and I intend no disrespect to anybody who differently interprets the above. PG Music's leniency is obviously their prerogative.
