would free speech or copyright infringment come into play if i say or sing the words to a song out loud and then tell another party the Key and chord placments??? or worse yet, show someone how to play the song on a musical instrument? is it copyright infringement to tape record a radio program or tv program? Hint: in case you forget, that was the SELLING POINT years ago for tape recorders and later VCRs [record tv programs to view later] ..and then cd/dvd recorders [tv & movies]! is it copyright infringment to play that recorded tape or vcr tape to family or friends at a later date? if i shell out $40 for a song book of lyrics and chords can i let anyone else look at it or use it? i let a friend borrow an instrument for a year he spent in saudi arabia, he undoubtedly sang and played a lot of songs on it - should he have sent in royalty payments? i bought 500 records/cas tapes at an estate sale awhile back, can i legally listen to them? can i legally re/sell them?
