Making
Music Come Alive ... Legally!**
Understanding
Copyrights, Performance & Recording Licenses
Composers / Authors / Printers / Proprietors / Publishers
/
Copyrights / and more!
This
presentation covers topics related to purchasing legal copies
of sheet
music (and protecting those copies) and then explain the
fees that must be
paid to the copyright holder to use the music for performances
and for
audio or video recordings.
**One
major change, which was re-researched in December 2007
is that it is illegal to make any working
copies of the original sheet music.
Earlier documentation supporting the practice of making
working copies,
are no longer available, so I have rewritten parts of pages
5 and 6.

This
document was featured in a four-part series
in the 2007 Pitchpipe Magazines published by
Sweet Adelines International and
in the 2007 July/August Harmonizer published by the Barbershop
Harmony Society.
