Copyright infringement?
my band director is interested
in having the band perform a
piece i showed him the other
day. The only problem is the
piece isn't published for a
standard school band. I was
going to arrange the piece
myself. Is there any way i
could do this without worrying
about copyright law?

Contact the publishers of the piece of music you would like to arrange. You can find that information in the liner notes of any CD- it will usually be a name followed by (ASCAP) or (BMI). Say you would like permission to do an arrangement of the piece for your school band. When you do get permission and make the arrangement, you can then file for copyright for your arrangement and (perhaps) even make money off of it (although you would have to share any money you make with the writers of the song you are arranging!) Note: the above doesn't apply to any songs you are arranging that are in public domain (such as a song like "Yankee Doodle" or a piece like a Beethoven symphony). In this case, just do the arrangement (you don't need anyone's permission) and you will hold the copyright to your arrangement all to yourself! |

Interesting question, I think the fraud comes with the signature rather than the actual work, I for example have copied Cezanne and sold them and I think that copying old masters etc is a bona fide learning technique but having said that I recall a couple of years ago the winner of the Turner prize, I think, was an oil of a sci-fi scene which won the artist the £10,000 prize plus he sold it for a ridiculous amount like £60,000 or thereabouts. Subsequently it turned out that he had copied it from the cover of a sci-fi paperback and the original artist sued him for plagiarism or something and won his case, I'm not sure of the outcome but the point is that artists get the short end of the stick when it comes to protecting their creations, authors scream foul if even a sentence is similar but artists seem to be fair game except, as I have already said, if the signature is rendered. |

Is it copyright infringement I want to design a line of
t-shirts and, obviously, try
to sell them. Some of the
shirts I would like to make
would have movie quotes or
song lyrics on them and the
name of the movie or
musician(s) as well. Would
this be considered copyright
infringement or is this even
allowed, from a legal
standpoint?

Yes every line from a movie and song belongs to that company /person legally you can not sell them. |
