Is it a job or a labor of love, I'm all for song copyrights but how 
often do they work?  I guess it's just a matter of how much you want 
to pursue it.  Does your average musician have the time and money it 
takes to pursue a copyright enfringement?  Is it a matter of 
credibility if they've already made cost? These questions are 
rhetorical, they don't have answers.  It's like asking yourself how 
many of my own songs do I know how to play versus how many of other 
peoples songs.   Should I let everyone who's song I'm playing know 
I'm playing it?  What if I can't find them anymore, should that stop 
me from playing their songs.  Do any of you really believe that 
everytime a song's played on the radio somebody's make change off 
it?
