I want to answer your question in 2 parts: 1) First of all - Congratulations on taking action! I'm excited for you. You are doing what 99.9% of people do not - simply taking action. It sounds like you have a plan and are making things happen. I just wanted to express to you how truly wonderful that is - go for it! 2) As far as where you stand with copyright law - as long as the nursery ryhmes you intend on using in your product were published before 1923 (and there are tons of them!) you are SAFE. It doesn't matter where the nursery ryhme was first published or where you plan on releasing the CD. Anything published before 1923 is now in the public domain and free to use in any fashion you wish anywhere in the world. Hope that helps... Thanks Graeme! Logan Hi Graeme,

I'm busy working on an audio CD for South African children. I plan to use a collection of my own songs as well as some traditional nursery rhymes that I would record myself. These nursery rhymes would be mostly from America or the UK. I'm a little worried about where I stand with copyright law. Do you think if these nursery rhymes date back before 1923 I would be safe? Would it make a difference if the nursery rhyme was published in the UK? Would it make a difference that I would be releasing my audio CD in South Africa? Thanks a lot, Graeme Hi there,
