I'm sure that the issue of copyright will come up again and again over the life of this blog, since it is an area that greatly impacts individuals working in orchestral music and is also, in my opinion, ripe for legal reconsideration.
In the meantime, a quick follow-up to my previous post on this subject. Tim Rutherford-Johnson notes that musicologists need to be more involved in shaping public policy as it pertains to music copyright issues; I think the same could be said for performing musicians.
