Well, if these sources are older than 100 years, they are not under copyright.
If not older than 100 years, it would need to be checked.
Youtube certainly didn't circumvent the issue, there are videos being removed
every day because of copyright issues.
O.K.

Subject: [lit-ideas] ? for attorneys on the list
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.
