Here's a pragmatic question re. copyright laws. There is a ton of
classical music out there online (someone mentioned Bach). I have a friend
who is developing her own method course materials for teaching young
children to play the piano. She is from Russia and is aware of a lot of
beginning level classical pieces that she has in books that are no longer
in print, or that are difficult if not impossible to find in the U.S.
If she can locate downloadable and printable copies of those pieces online,
is there any legal reason anyone is aware of that she can't include those
in her books?
The YouTube thing circumvented the downloadable music issue so well, and it
seems that technology has moved so much more rapidly than courts are able
to settle intellectual property issues that these sorts of questions are
still very cloudy.
