Re: using music (copyright issues)

And even if the copyright on the music or lyrics has expired, the actual
recording/performance by a particular artist is still protected, i.e. a 1999
recording by the National Symphony of Beethovan is protected, but a 1930
phono  recording  (assuming you still have equipment to play it)  is not.
