The names of these songs do not belong to me, of course, and a list as a concept is not copyrightable, but this list and the way in which it appears are my original creation and thus protected.
Wikipedia notes about such writings, "Another complication is that publishing exclusively on the Internet has become extremely popular. According to U.S. law, at least, an author's original works are covered by copyright, even without a formal notice incorporated into the work. But such laws were passed at a time when the focus was on materials that could not be as easily and cheaply reproduced as digital media, nor did they comprehend the ultimate impossibility of determining which set of electronic bits is original. Technically, any Internet posting (such as blogs or emails) could be considered copyrighted material unless explicitly stated otherwise."
I don't expect to see this list reprinted elsewhere (what could anyone gain?), but better to state it upfront!
