NOTATIO

As a case in point, I wanted to post an excerpt about Arnold Arnstein from an article in the New York TImes Magazine from 1966 concerning the premiere of Barber's Anthony and Cleopatra. I am probably the first person who ever approached them about excerpting the several paragraphs from this longish...

I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on tv, but… Fair Use allows for copying of music for educational purposes as long as it's not a "performance unit". Whether a forum can be officially classified as an education institution or whatnot, you got me. Also, Fair Use allows for reproduction f...

Let us agree on this: If you need to give an example of non-PD score or any typeset music that is under copyright, please use as small snippet as possible to describe what you intend. In Windows and Mac it is very easy to take screenshot of a portion of your screen so you can use that method to cap...

Fair Use allows for copying of music for educational purposes as long as it's not a "performance unit". Whether a forum can be officially classified as an education institution or whatnot, you got me. This is a BIG, and I mean, BIG misnomer. Fair Use does not grant any one rights to copy ...

I agree completely! An interesting question: what happens legally if a picture is hosted at a site (A) that owns the copyright of that picture, but another site (B) that doesn't own copyright of that picture embeds it to display on this (B) site?

The restrictions of © are affecting mostly the freedom of speech and freedom for truth. As Joost Smiers writes, the big corporations (here publishers) will not only restrict what should be published but also what should NOT be published. If everything is in PD (this is a heaven-world well...) that ...

Legally, this is strictly a NO without consent of the copyright holder. However, if this were the case in every instance of internet, there would likely be no internet. So, I believe that the forum should have a DMCA notice of compliance of sorts, explaining that no one profits from this website, bu...

I don't find Henle's editions particularly cold either, just very different from everything else (in a good way). Their music font has less contrast and gives a cleaner (i.e., less inky) impression with somewhat sharper edges than many others. Combined with the exceptional precision of the engravin...

This is very true: http://artcopyright.interartive.org/abandoning-copyright/ Wonderful link. Thanks for sharing! Yes, especially when you put it in parallel to this announcement made few months before: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/01/supreme-court-rules-congress-can-re-copyright-public-d...

No. Part of it is the lack of access to the manuals. I would like to have those so I can do a proper job (I learned my lesson with LilyPond - Always start with the manuals!).
