What does copyright mean to a musician?
Copyright means different things at different times: in regard to one's original works, it's a way to make money; in regard to using someone else's work, it's an expense.If I write a song, it's automatically protected by copyright, so anyone else wanting to use it needs my permission. If I record it, both the song and the performance on the recording are protected, so anyone else wanting to use those needs my permission. If I publish the sheet music, people might buy it, but then they need my permission to perform it in public, record it, etc. Anything that happens to that song I wrote has the potential to provide me with income.But from the other side of the equation, if you wrote a song and I want to use it, I need your permission. If you recorded it and I want to play it on my webpage, I need your permission. If I want to use it in a movie, I need your permission. If I want to adapt it for a jazz band, I need your permission. If I want to record that adaptation, I need your permission. Anything I want to do with your song has the potential to cost me money.
