I wonder if there are any copyright issues with such works. > Not that I want to sell it or anything. I am kinda new to this world. It is tricky. There are some guidelines regarding citations, fair-use and also what makes up a composition or musical idea. Using only two notes which are evenly spaced quarter notes in a sequence of 3 bars still has sufficient entropy. Themes have been built with less. e.g. Beethoven's 5th ta-ta-ta-dahhh :) Copying, quoting, paraphrasing, plagiarism, attribution and stealing have a long history in all arts. The legal and moral acceptance varies from time to time and culture to culture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagiarism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_plagiarism The way I see it, in the current western culture: you're fine until you start making big money or prevent someone else from making money. ..and then no guidelines or copyright-law will help you, only a good lawyer can. In fact, you'll need a better lawyer :( 2c, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
