HI,
If I would like to make a soundclick page or something similar, how are the copyrights of old blues songs? I mean songs of Mississippi John Hurt, Gary Davis, Fred McDowell, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and so on. In most cases songs itself seem to be in category of traditional and only names are changing.
Yours Pertti

Hi Pertti,
The copyright/publishing of old blues songs is not in most cases 'traditional'. The artists you mention...John Hurt, Gary Davis, Fred McDowell, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters. Most of their material is published and cannot be used without doing the proper paperwork. I gotta rush....I am just heading out, but I will continue this with you later!
Shine On, Michael.
