Greetings-

My band Noltem is releasing a CD within the next couple of months which I would like to call "Runedance", which is an obvious tribute to "Rundans" from Till Fjälls (that's exactly where I got the idea from). Although it's not exactly the same due to the translation, I would still like to make sure that you're alright with this... it just seems like the right thing to do.

Thanks!

We don't have any copyright of the word combination..only the song..It's very hard to get copyright on titles and words..of course trademarks and company name..but titles is thankfully not included in that..so far. I know that if you have a very special title it can fall under copyright laws..but we don't have any problem with it...I don't know if Napalm have any opinions on the topic..but you know, how many band have had a track called "Rock'n roll will never die"...like 1000

Yes... I had figured that there wasn't any special copyright on the song- I was just checking. Thanks for your reply... let me know if there is some problem down the line or something.

Well, it is copyright on the song..but the word combination is a different matter

I'd like to ask you if Nattsmyg could do a cover/tribute to Otyg - Skuggan på åsen to our fifth demo ?
I will of course write everywhere that it is a Otyg song.
We don't have a label and we don't intend to earn money on the demos we make, everything is for download.

Personally I don't mind it at all..

If it was possible to register song titles I'd reg "Intro" and be the richest man on earth

That's good news. Since we kinda...err...already recorded an acoustic version of Otyg's "Huldran" for our band Skald. Hehe...
We have the same aim as Nattsmyg though - no intensions of moneymaking whatsoever... everything will be available for downloads etc.

Right. Anyway, I will put in the linear notes that idea for the album title is from "Rundans". The album title is just a tribue to Till Fjalls anyway, I have no other intentions (besides the fact that I think the title fits the music very well). Basically the point of me asking in the first place was that I wanted to see if you, personally, had any objections to Noltem naming an album after one of your songs. I would have used the Swedish title (insead of the English translation), but I wouldn't feel right naming my album in a language that I don't speak or really have anything to do with.
