Copyright, Songs and Common Sense

The concept of copyright has been around for quite some time.  However, common sense, regardless of how prevalent in society it might be, has been around a lot longer.

From NMPA Website
WASHINGTON – At a press event today the National Music Publishers’ Association announced that it has sent takedown notices to the top 50 unlicensed lyric sites in an unprecedented anti-piracy effort.  NMPA is working with songwriter and University of Georgia researcher David Lowery who published an academic study listing top unlicensed lyric websites. These lyric sites profit from advertisement-generated revenue, yet songwriters whose lyrics are available on these unlicensed sites receive no compensation.

So...  How soon will we start receiving invoices, billing us for each time we sing in the shower, recite a chorus or mention lyrics to a friend or co-worker?  Yes, this is off-topic, but is irritating to me.
