You can trade music all you want, BUT, and this is a very big
BUT, you can get into a lot of hot water if you copy and perform
musical works.  There has been a spate of law suits against
church groups of late charging that they copied music and
performed the music.  Music writers are getting very sensative
about their work.  There have been more court cases lately
than you can shake a stick at.  I'm sure that if you were
to write a song and get it published, you would want to be
certain that you receive the royalties that were due.
