iCopyright Question

[edit]

{{helpme}}If I listen to music on the radio, then write down what I heard as a musical score and reproduce (a picture of) that score on Wikipedia, am I violating copyright law? It is not clear "who wrote" the piece or whether it was obtained from the "public domain." Please advise.

Take "Guinnevere" for specific example: Written by David Crosby late 60's; arranged by Richard Dworsky 1992; transcribed by me 2009.

Would I need written permission from all parties in this chain (except myself of course)?

Then more complex questions like "What if I alter the 1992 arrangement (sufficiently)?" Etc.

Thanks.

Hi there. I didn't know the answer to your question, so I asked in the irc:#mediawiki-commons channel, but nobody from there responded either. Therefore, I suggest asking your question in Wikipedia:Media_copyright_questions. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  20:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Original research is curious. How are the following different?

  • I read four history books and summarize my findings with references to these books;
  • I listen to a folk music album and summarize my findings in a <music> snippet with references to the album.
