In addition to background info., I was hoping to have some mp3s of versions, including new ones done by musicians I know. Since it is going to be a purely informational website, done for a class, does anyone know what kind of copyright clearance I should do? thanks dan |

Prolly different rules in different countries and even if you're elsewhere you'll have to deal with US copyright law since all (?) of RJ's stuff was recorded here.

Your university library and whoever controls your campus web should both have information and specific guidelines. If your campus uses courseware that limits access to just those enrolled in your course, you will be much more safely within fair use guidelines. If you're in the US you could start to bone up at the University of Texas copyright site. |
