Copyright does that apply to a song done in 1928?

Yeah, the more I live this life, the more I have no time for store clerks who think they are answering my question when they pick up the item I'm asking about and start to read its label... instead of saving me time by telling me they don't know. Getting a definitive NO is a hell of a lot more helpful than a carefully stated "maybe" that's designed to make you think the speaker knows something when they don't.

That said, Steverd's method seems like the way to go. You want to know if a shark likes a particular kind of fish? Dangle one out in the ocean and see if it gets snapped up! Steverd's method puts it out there so it can be flagged or snagged as copyrighted without directly connecting it to your present project, so you're still anonymous to the copyright holder. That way, if there's something clever you can do to get use of it approved, he hasn't already said NO to this project. In fact, I might do that using a different email address, too.

Good luck.
Thanks
