	Stuff like this can get ridiculous:

	The movie is an animated musical. The director used songs from the 
1920's that were in the public domain. However, it was deemed that 
syncing the songs with elements in the movie was a copyright violation. 
Apparently, it's OK for me to play the songs on the radio, but if I sing 
the songs, I'm violating copyright.
