The best way to change lots of permissions at once (as with a folder  
full of instruments imported from a CDROM or DVD) do this is to use a  
free program called BatChMod.

You can download it here:  http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/

It's an easy to use frag and drop interface for a Unix script that  
works more reliably than the Finder checkbox.  For some reason when  
you do it with the Finder, the permissions change back sometimes.   
With BatChMod, they stay put.

This little program has solved sticky situations for me many times.
