Sony later withdrew their copyright claim.
There are two pieces to copyright when it comes to public domain:
* The work (song) itself -- can't copyright that
* The recording -- you are the copyright owner. No one, without your permission, can re-post your recording
And of course, there is derivative work. You own any portion that is derivative of the original work.
