Thread Name: Traditional music and copyright
Subject: RE: Traditional music and copyright
Roksana, would you explain the benefits of the "Creative Commons" approach? It seems to me that a composer, if he grants partial access to the public, would infringe on the rights of his publisher and other participants such as co-authors of a piece of music.
A composer who does not wish to copyright doesn't have to, but of course he also forgos profit from publication, and performances by others.
