I am trying to compile a book of camp songs. Some of the songs are under copyright protection still, some are no longer under copyright protection, and many are of unclear copyright status.
With a song, the lyrics and the tune could have different status. If I can find a published version of the song, it's easy to determine the status. However, it's not easy to find many of the songs, and even if the lyrics are Public Domain, how can I find out about the tune?
What methods are there (short of blind luck stumbling about) to tell if a song is copyrighted or not?
Thanks.
