DISCLAIMER STATEMENT
I, Tom Lehrer, and the Tom Lehrer Trust 2007, hereby grant the following
permissions:
All copyrights to lyrics or music written or composed by me have been
relinquished, and therefore such songs are now in the public domain. All
of my songs that have never been copyrighted, having been available for
free for so long, are now also in the public domain.
The latter includes all lyrics which I have written to music by others,
although the music to such parodies, if copyrighted by their composers,
are of course not included without permission of their copyright owners.
The translated songs on this website may be found on YouTube in their
original languages.
Performing and recording rights to all of my songs are included in this
permission. Translation rights are also included.
In particular, permission is hereby granted to anyone to set any of
these lyrics to their own music, or to set any of this music to their
own lyrics, and to publish or perform their parodies or distortions of
these songs without payment or fear of legal action.
Some recording, movie, and television rights to songs written by me are
merely licensed non-exclusively by me to recording, movie, or TV
companies. All such rights are now released herewith and therefore do
not require any permission from me or from Maelstrom Music, which is
merely me in another hat, nor from the recording, movie, or TV companies
involved.
In short, I no longer retain any rights to any of my songs.
So help yourselves, and don’t send me any money.
NOTICE:
THIS WEBSITE WILL BE SHUT DOWN AT SOME DATE IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT
FUTURE, SO IF YOU WANT TO DOWNLOAD ANYTHING, DON’T WAIT TOO LONG.
