Am I infringing copyrights?
I have been experimenting with recording techniques and I placed
a couple of test recordings of my Steinway Model B Duo-Art on YouTube,
with the intention of asking like-minded enthusiasts for constructive
criticism of the audio quality. However, YouTube have sent me the
following warning:
> Steinway Model B Duo Art Test Recording 2
>
> Your video may include a song owned by a third party. For example,
> this might be a song playing in the background or someone performing
> a song. To hear the matched song please play the video on the right.
> The video will play from the point where the matched content was
> identified. Your video is available and playable. Here are details:
>
> "Rhapsody in C major Op. 11. No 3 Capriccio Op. 16. No 3", musical
> composition administered by one or more music publishing rights
> collecting societies.
Where do we stand with regards to posting recordings [on the Internet]?
My assumption was --
a) buying a [music] roll gave me performance rights;
b) any copyright expired 50 years after the performer's and composer's
death;
c) postings could be made if there was no commercial gain;
d) they've got the wrong piece of music anyway!
Does anyone know where we stand and how to respond?
The video can be seen by searching YouTube for "Steinway Model B Duo Art
Test Recording 2", http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q2QNb_I-fk
