On Saturday, the company SongVest will open a two-week auction at www.songvest.com that features writers’ shares of 18 songs, including country hits such as “Friends in Low Places,” “I Swear,” “You and I” and “Someone Else’s Dream.” Artists who have recorded the songs offered include Aerosmith, Ringo Starr, Cher, Ozzy Osbourne and The Monkees.
Found this on The Hollywood Reporter and thought I would repost it here.
If you aren’t one of the 9 million people who have already seen it, give it a look. It’s wonderfully done. And it’s a copyright infringement. Fantastic!
