Musical scores for the festivals
Musical scores and copyright: Federal law provides protection for "musical works, including any accompanying words." The rights given to a copyright holder include the exclusive rights to reproduce the copyrighted works (i.e. make copies), to prepare derivative works based on the copyrighted music, to sell, rent, lend, or transfer ownership of copies, and to perform the copyrighted musical work publicly or by means of an audio transmission. When an individual purchases a musical work/sheet music he/she does not also purchase the right to make copies of that work. That property right remains with the copyright holder. If an individual makes copies/scans copies from the book without the permission of the copyright holder, he/she has then infringed on the copyright. In other words, the individual who makes copies has violated the rights of the copyright holder by taking his or her property. Further, just because a musical work is on the Internet does not mean it is in public domain or the author was granted permission for the work to be online and copies made. Please assume that anything that appears on the Internet is protected by copyright unless you receive explicit permission from the owner to make copies of the work. There is no circumstance that allows for music to be scanned and sent electronically to judges...unless written permission from the publisher has been obtained prior to the event and can be produced upon request. Festival administrators and music educators who are found to be making illegal copies of copyrighted works can be fined between $750 to $30,000 (statutory damages) and if the court finds willfulness, up to $150,000 per copyright infringement.
