Copyright question.

[Janet Miller <jamiller@LAJUNTA.K12.CO.US>]

Hi everyone,

The library that I work at is very strict about copying music.  I recently
finished a class about copyright and the internet.  Basic rule is that you
can use most everything on the internet if it is for educational purposes,
but if there is a question it is a good idea to ask permission to use the
material.  Does this rule apply to music?  We have had several requests
from the choir and band teachers who need us to copy music for their
classes.  The librarian refuses to copy any music of any kind.  If the
music is for educational purposes won't the copyright allow me to copy the
music?

Thanks for your help.
