In the U.S.A., the Supreme Court has decided that recording a broadcast TV show is not copyright infringement.
A P in a circle indicates that it is a sound recording that is under copyright protection. The P stands for phonograph, but it has been interpreted to mean any means of recording sound. That also means it cannot be used without permission. The media is the property of the holder and cannot be changed to another media.
No, but any sound recording of a performance of Grieg's music may still be copyrighted according to when it was created and the laws of the country where it was produced. For example, in the USA, any recording published prior to 1972 is copyrighted until 2067 when state copyright laws become preempted by federal copyright.
None. you wouldn't copyright the copyright symbol, you would trademark it.
The song itself is administered by Warner Chappell, and the sound recording is now controlled by EMI.
No. Copyright exists from the moment that a work, of sufficient originality, is fixed in a tangible medium (finished painting, sound recording, saved computer file, etc) perceptible by human or machine.
There are a large number of copyright holders; the song itself has seven but can generally be licensed through Warner Chappell, and the sound recording has at least as many but can generally be licensed through Atlantic.
The copyright symbol consists of a C in a circle has become a widely recognised symbol. The copyright symbol was first used in section 18 of the 1909 American Copyright Act.
The law has changed and the copyright symbol is no longer needed to insure the protection of the copyright owner. The symbol for copyright is: ©
'p' inside a circle means 'protected by copyright law' and you are not allowed to reproduce it without permission from the author
