Putting Copyrighted Music On the 'Net
By Damon Atchison

I know there are those out there more experienced than I, but allow
me to say this.  Those putting their player's performances on the
Internet, that those sounds are Copyrighted much of the time.  To the
best of my knowledge, it is illegal to record someone else's recording
and distribute it without permission of those who hold the copyright.

I am pretty sure that QRS would hold the copyright on the roll of "The
Old Piano Roll Blues", or if not them, someone else.  Thus you have
copyright infringement which is illegal.

Despite the fact these songs are old and they're not being played off
of a piece of modern day equipment like the phonograph, they're still
under copyright.

This is brief and non-specific, but I believe it gets the point across.
Would anyone care to elaborate with more specifics?
