THE BLANKET PERMISSION LIST

(last updated February 19, 2005) changes in italics
First off, here is a list of people who do NOT want their songs posted.
  • Heather Alexander
  • Julia Ecklar
  • James King
  • Mercedes Lackey
  • Luke Ski (www.LukeSki.com)
The following folks have given blanket permission to post their songs, so long as proper credit and copyright information are kept with the song, and it is not published or recorded for sale without specific permission from the writer. If a writer is not listed, check with them first. See also the above list.

Songwriters should also consider using a Creative Commons license to explain what they do and don't want with their songs. See the one on my songs for an example. See also the Open Audio License and the Open Music Licenses projects based on the open-source software movement.

This could be useful too - The Copyright Office of the Library of Congress search engine

In the interests of cutting down on autospammer usage of this list, all dots have been replaced by spaces. Legitimate users feel free to make the obvious transform.
