XI Rules for the exchange of sheet music on this forum
You can exchange or lend the original of a protected work, not the copy.
Which items are protected by copyright?
Works whose author or arranger is still alive, or who died less than 70 years ago, are protected. For example, the works of Villa-Lobos, Piazzolla, Lauro, Rodrigo and Brouwer are protected by copyright. Arrangements by Segovia, Yepes, and Bream are also protected, even if they are arrangements of authors in the public domain like Bach or Albeniz. Messages offering copies or links to sites that offer works that violate the copyrights of an author will be removed by the moderators of the forum.
