(via Joel Puckett) For folks reading strange emails via the CBDNA listserve: From The Meet The Composer Commissioning Music: A Basic Guide—"The composer owns the commissioned work and all rights to its use under U.S. and/or International Copyright Law. The composer derives income from the licensing fees paid for use of a work in performance, publication, and recording. Composers generally retain their original manuscripts (or digital files of electronic works), though they may give copies to commissioners. Instrumental parts belong to composers or their publishers, although commissioners may have exclusive use of them for a period of time. Possession of printed or recorded music does not confer rights to performance, publication, or recording." Anyone claiming otherwise is either: 1) ill-informed 2) trying to sell you something 3) both 1 and 2.
