In the past I had this dicsussion:
Someone told me: - "Wow, your new classical music CDs are very nice."
I said: - "Yeap.."
He said: - "Classical music is old. so there is no copyright and I can copy and play this music as I like. Nobody can sue me."
I said: - "No, you cannot do whatever you want. Beethoven has no copyright rights over this work, but the ORCHESTRA which played the work, the COMPANY which recorded and published the work, ETC, have rights over their work. You will be sued because you copied Beethoven's music, but because you copied this particular orchestra/music company's version of the music"
IANAL - I am not a lawyer
Am I right?
