Okay, now that I've figured the yousendit thing out, prepare to be spammed with music that you may/may not care about.

You have been warned.

The first one is here: Upside Down From Here.

Oh, and quick question: If someone makes a recording of someone else performing/singing/reading something, is it copyright the person who performed/sang/read/wrote it? Is that confusing? Bleh.

It appears the answer is "yes". Protection of a recording doesn't distinguish between spoken word and music.

And it looks like I was wrong on a couple of points - copyright protection is automatic when the work is created (included recorded).

My main point being that the recording is protected separately from the published work, both in the case of written word and music.
