: : I am a composer of music and art songs. I have written a song based on a poem by a (long) dead poet, whose work was translated in the 1970's by a person I cannot find. The publisher of this book sold the rights; the next publisher sold the rights; etcetera. I have written to four publishers, all of whom say they don't own the rights. My problem is that I cannot publish my song without proving that I am not violating copyright. Any suggestions? : Dear Ms. Warren, : You can do what you want and take your chances.
