[Asterisk-Users] MOH: Copyright issues?

After reading a (hopefully) joke web news article today that said the 
RIAA was thinking about asking automobile owners to pay extra royalties 
when there's more than one passenger in the car, I began to worry about 
  putting the classic 1974 Pointer Sisters' tune, "Little Pony" in my 
mohmp3 directory.

I know I can always explicitly search out "royalty free" music, but I 
wonder if my 50+ year old recordings of The Sons of the Pioneers, or the 
CD of Clara Rockmore playing a Theremin I bought at the Exploratorium, 
would wind up with me in the slammer (or the poorhouse!!) if I put them 
on my system?

Does anyone know a way of knowing where a given recording of a song stands?

Thx.

B.
