[Harp-L] Re: fake book sale

I looked at this site. Looks like it's a bootleg site. If Hal Leonard is selling songs in a fake book for pennies each, I imagine that owners of the songs (publishers - composers) are only getting a fraction of that.  (plus: wholesale is half the list price; so do the math)


I hate to piss on your parade. But l would rather buy a legit copy of a song than steal off the internet.


I also realize that Mickey Mouse has locked up copyrights for the next 100 years -- but just because I object to the price doesn't give me the right to shoplift it.


There was a time when fake books were all bootlegged. Now most are legit.

A free internet resource alternative to fake books is Wikifonia.org which has thousands of lead sheets of popular songs, all of which can be transposed into the various keys and printed out in several different formats: http://www.wikifonia.org/
