Forgot to mention that the only websites where it could have been obtained clearly displayed copyright
notices. (One was my own and the other was the gentleman's who had obtained permission from myself to
display it on his website. I have done exhaustive searches on the web, and I can tell you that those
were the only two places I found it (my own page has been down for some time).
What concerns me further is that if one does a google or yahoo or altavista search on the terms "IOC
Olympic Hymn", you will see that the number one and two rankings take you to my uncredited translation
on *their* page. This means that their site has achieved considerable search penetration and
propogation and my rights as a producer have certainly been violated. So, I am understandably hot
under the collar. Forgive me if I came on too strong.
