    1. [WIGEN-L] 'I Want' post
    2. Tim Stowell
    3. Back on 12/25 or so, I posted the ditty entitled - 'I Want' to this list. At the time I was unaware that there was a copyrighted but differently worded rendition on the web by a Ms. Brown. Ms. Brown sent me a note requesting that I give her credit for what I posted and claims copyright violation. Since what I posted was not her original work, I can not do that. I've asked the head of a writing center about this and was told that if any violation had occurred it would be on the part of my source. What I can do is explain the circumstances for my post. I attributed at the time of my post my source of the ditty. I had previously asked the permission of those folk to post the ditty giving them credit. I received that permission 15 Jan 2000. Since it was not the Christmas season I saved it for December, 2000. I don't 'check' the Internet to see if someone has copyrighted stuff before I post or pass along stuff I receive. I doubt many folks do. Had I known of Ms. Brown's work, I would have not posted what I did. Tim
