Publishing details
All of Ger's songs are published by copyright control. This simply means that if you do perform any of them in public and you are a member of a copyright protection socoiety , such as I.M.R.O. in Ireland or P.R.S. in Britain, it is beneficial to Ger (and of no cost to the performer)if you can register that performance (where it took place and when) naming the particular song,as written by Ger Wolfe.Many thanks if you can fill this in your 'performances' return at the end of each year.
For Mechanical copyright, that is ;if you plan to record one of Ger's songs on a c.d. it is legally necessary to obtain a liscence from M.C.P.S. who are responsible for collecting the royalty payments on behalf of writers from either individuals or record companies, even if it is for only a couple of hundred copies, the liscence fee is charged per amount of copies sold usually.
