I get to see a lot of genealogy Web sites. I have noticed that
many personal Web sites play music. I have a question for all the owners of
those Web sites: "Do you have a signed copyright release for that music?"
If not, you might receive an unpleasant piece of legal paperwork
someday. Posting music on a Web site without permission of the copyright holder(s)
is a violation of copyright laws. Copyright holders have been known to sue.
You might want to remove any copyrighted music before you find
your site in a legal stew.
