Dick, maybe you should be more specific about what exactly PK did to you before sounding so bitter?- is it on another thread? I have no idea, although I know a lot of people have said similar things about him. If you record an arrangement of a 'traditional' song or tune and copyright that arrangement, whatever the law says, it's totally against the spirit of the music in that it restricts its natural development through history. The fact that charlatans have copyrighted songs with no known author is a sad fact of life, and copyrighting 'arrangements' is only a little less damaging as far as I'm concerned- whose music is it?
