AR282 Scott Joplin and Treemonisha (60* d) RE: Scott Joplin and Treemonisha 24 Feb 02


I don't know that recording is all right and not distribution. As I said, I am just supposing. I don't know. Again, maybe it was a live broadcast or maybe the laws are different overseas. I just don't know. But I don't see why you can't record it. Whose going to know? But if you attempt to distribute, they'll find out about that in a big hurry.

The copyright extension deal was just another way for some rich guy to buy copyrights to old material whose original 50-year copyright had already expired and then you and I have to pay him if we want to record it. That's nothing but the most unscrupulous robbery. Sonny Bono should have been hung even after he died.
