For sheet music, copying, altering, distributing, or performing the music in public without a license would be infringing. For recordings, copying (including downloading), altering, distributing (including uploading), or performing the recording in public without a license would be infringing.
The exclusive rights conferred on a copyright holder are to copy, alter, distribute, and perform/display the work, or authorize others to do so. Downloading constitutes making a copy, so doing so without permission is infringing the rights of the copyright holder. Infringement is punishable by fines, and in extreme cases, jail.
IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IF YOU: * Use an identifiable portion of the music * Use the any portion of the Lyrics, The rules are a little more complex than that '''BUT''' if you fall in the above you need to check further. ---- ---- Copyright gives the creator of a work the exclusive right to copy, alter, distribute, or perform or display the work, or authorize others to do so. If you have notated a song without permission, you have already infringed the copyright; performing it would be an additional infringing act.
Not unless you make a recording of it and publish it without permission of the copyright owner, assuming the music is copyrighted.
Yes you can if the composer had died more than 70 years. If less than 70 years, use only a small percent of the song to avoid infringing copyright.
copyright of music belongs to the sound recording company, composer and lyrics writer if the music is quite old (mozart etc) you can publish it, otherwise it is a copyright infringement to publish music on youtube without the owners permission The best way to avoid copyright infringement on YouTube is to post only content that is entirely your original work.
At least in Australia, infringing copyright is not illegal per se, but an entity can "seek damages", ie. sue you for infringing their copyright. Can a publisher sue you for using legalsounds.com? Well yeah, anyone can seek damages from anyone. Will it stick? No; even if legalsounds.com was dodgy, suing the end user would be like suing a concert-goer because the band played someone else's music...
It is not legal. If you do not own rights to the music it is copyright infringement.
With a license, yes. Without a license, no.
