For which parody, there is now a copyright suit:
http://sethf.com/infothought/blog/archives/000670.html
...and never mind the parody defence, or indeed Woody Guthrie's own
© statement:
"This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright # 154085,
for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin it without our
permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don't give a
dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote
it, that's all we wanted to do."
Cheers
Martin
