Confooozin. and all gray areas. I liked the "money changing hands" idea.
I also liked the conceptual differences between a traditional tune, an
arrangement of that tune and a performance of that tune -- and the copyright
(or lack of) differences between them.

This is in part because the copyright laws are based on a concept
that doesn't map well to what we're doing. The "copyright" deals with
the right to copy a particular publication. When you convert ABC to a
printed form, this is not in any meaningful sense a "copy" of any
other printed material. It's not "the same sheet music", as can be
seen by putting your laser printer page next to the page in the book
and comparing them. All the details are different, so it's obviously
not a "copy"...
