Stupid copywright laws and their extensions. Shouldn't that song be public domain by now?

The original Woody Guthrie song has a lot of the same notes as a number of other songs owned by other people.

They should be considering themselves fortunate that they haven't been sued yet by other music labels.

Who was it that said something about it being too hard to write songs anymore cause off of the possible guitar chords had been used? One of the GnR guys?

Would I not get smacked if I spelt funny like this 'funneh'?
