[edit] Copyright
As the song was inspired by the poem, the copyright to the lyrics belongs to Paul Simon. I'm removing them. The poem can remain (on Wikisource, where it is now) because it's in the public domain. LeaHazel : talk : contribs 14:24, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- It all depends on how similar the song is to the poem. If the song lyric is identical to the poem, or there is only negligible differences, then the lyrics does not have copyright. If the lyric differs substantially from the poem, then the copyright belongs to Paul Simon. Wooyi 00:23, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
