RE: Copyright Issues

[Adrian A. Durlester <durleste...>]

Neil et al:

All kidding aside, our Jewish tradition requires us to give credit where credit 
is due. One need not carry it to extremes, but I do seriously ask those on this 
list to think twice about protecting copyright and recognizing work by proper 
attribution. You need not attribute parents, as they were performing a mitzvot 
when they had their children. Though I suppose one could now argue that 
songwriters, in writing songs of praise to God, are also engaged in performing 
mitzvot, in which case....

I am sure there are folks on this list who would happily provide Sara with the 
chords to Yesh L'vavot - privately.

And paper was invented in China, not Egypt.
