Yes. If you are running an online radio station, you still have to pay royalties for Classical Music - for the performers. If you had recordings from before 1924 or so, they might be in the public domain. But even though the music was written long ago, the performances were done recently.

When you copyright a song is that the same as ASCAP?

No. If you write something, you automatically own the copyright to your work (unless you have previously assigned it to someone else). However, copyright is just the first step in being able to collect royalties from your work. Performance-rights organizations like ASCAP, BMI and SESAC are (ostensibly) in the business of collecting royalties from the live performance or playback of copyrighted music (in public venues, on radio, television or on the internet) and distributing the royalties that they have collected to the composers and publishers, proportionally to the size of the audience and the number of times the music is played.

How much do they pay you for being a musician?

First thing to be noted is that musical composition (song-writer) is a complex career. Even if you were to create a masterpiece, you may not get any commission for it. Say, by chance, you were sorted - a boy band liked you music - and they used you songs as their own! You would in turn get a portion of the royalties that the band made. Royalties being the money that the record company pays you every time that the song is played on the radio or used in an advert, and most commonly, bought. These royalties could add up to millions, if the track was popular, however one enters a music lottery when beginning a career in music. You could quite easily spend you life composing/performing and not gain a penny.

Where online can one listen to good quality Mozart music?

For a continuous stream of mixed tracks, access the web-radio site mozart.rad.io. A full catalog of his oeuvre can be found at the Mozart Archiv site, which is in German, but with translatable pages, and simple enough to traverse. However, the best English-language site, with a high quality sound option is the free music Archive, which has an almost-comprehensive catalog of Mozart music.

I believe that the elevator music at the Dubai Mall is "Für Elise - Ludwig van Beethoven". __________________ [Beethoven-- droll...] Your best bet is to go to the mall office and inquire. Perhaps they tune into a specific radio station, or they may have some recordings that they have license to use for such a purpose.

You don't actually keep the copy. It's like hearing it on the radio. Not to mention last.fm has sponsors that allow them to pay the royalties that allow you to listen to that sweet, sweet free music.
