However, I would like to point out that it contains copyrighted music for which the law expects a recording royalty to be paid when publicly distributed. Unless a fee has been paid for distribution, I suggest caution about sharing these files as email attachments. Each one of us who receives and opens the email inadvertently downloads an apparently illegal file.Please note that I am not defending the law, I am merely pointing out what I perceive to be the reality of the law.Regards,PianoBench

Hi Larry,
Please count me in on that as well. It certainly would make for a great early Christmas present.
Thank you in advance,
Glenn

Dear Larry - I was searching for Christmas music for my Disklavier and ran across this old post. Sadly, the attachment is not available. Do you still have the file, and if so, can you attach it again please? I would be very grateful, and chances are others in the group would be too.
Thanks in advance. (And here's hoping you're still a member of this group!)
Shelley

Re: [disklavier] copyright
2010-12-04 by Carol Beigel
I don't want to open a can of worms here, but I think it
is okay for people to record music and distribute on this website. There
are at least two copyrights for any song, and a myriad of licensing
agreements that could be involved if you were to sell the music. Not only
can a song be copyrighted, but so can it's performance. Some copyrights
eventually expire. For Holiday music, many of the tunes are out of
copyright. Dereck Barnes could copyright his performance but not the
tune. I think we are all safe downloading his files and thank him for
sharing his performance. It's not like he is making any money on
this.
