Recently there has been some net chatter about Copyrighting your songs. My friends have asked me, “What’s the deal?” So here’s my take: Copyrighting is a different beast then it used to be.

So I was checking out some music sites (Idolator and Stereogum), and I kept seeing these ads for Sharon Little. I figured someone believes in her enough to promote her like this (advertising on those sites can’t be cheap). I wanted to see what’s up. Turn out she’s a bluesy type singer-song writer.
