The DMCA March

[to the tune of 'Mama Mawu']

Keep your copyrights.

Leave my human rights.

Copyright is not like human

Not like human rights.

Turn my brother loose.

He only wants fair use.

You can keep your precious copy

Turn my brother loose.

Dmitri is our guest.

Give him of your best.

You can find it in your heart to

Give him of your best.

DMCA, hey,

Law by those who pay,

DMCA, take yourself the other way.

Since the music to 'Mama Mawu' has not been published I give it in

solfeggio below. It's all in brisk quarter notes except for the final 'do^

ti la', which is half notes. 'do^' is C above middle C, etc.

mi ti la ti mi (rest rest rest)

mi ti la ti mi (rest rest rest)

mi ti la ti do^ ti la ti (rest rest rest rest) [*]

mi ti la ti do^ (rest rest rest)

[* This whole rest occurs only in the 'DMCA March', not 'Mama Mawu'. You

can leave it out when you aren't marching, or when the group has learned

the song better.]

[final verse:]

mi ti la ti do^ (rest rest rest)

mi ti la ti do^ (rest rest rest)

mi ti la ti do^ re^ mi^ re^ do^ ti la
