"Strange how the titles of songs bear such a
strong resemblance to each other," observed a
stranger to the methods of the publishing busi-
ness the other day to The Review. "Perhaps the
melodies may be alike, for all I know, too, but
the names are so conspicuously similar as to sug-
gest either lack of originality or downright pla-
giarism. Is it because one composition is suc-
cessful and the others rush in to reap some of
the benefits by getting as near as possible without
violating the copyright act?"
