Do I have to pay royalties or something to use original classical music...or can I use it without getting sued?Ryan's absolutely correct. You might be safe to use the music itself, but if you're talking about using a CD recording of a professional orchestra playing a piece of music, that's another story.
How do you intend to "use" this music?It all depends on what you going to do with it. Most classical music written before the 1900's is public domain, meaning that the music itself is no longer under . This means that people are free to reproduce the music as they see fit, and it's perfectly legal to download something like a MIDI file of the music. HOWEVER, recordings of classical music are different. A recording has a , just in the same way that the piece of music has a . So, if you were to use a published recording of classical music for whatever you intend to use it for, then you could run into some problems. The music itself is probably public domain, but the actual recording is the strict intellectual property of the performers and publishers.If you record it yourself or have a friend record it, I'm sure it's fine.
If you're using someone else's professional recording, you may need to get permission and/or pay royalties.#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
