Re: Mutopia copyright/legal issues

[Werner LEMBERG]

   I realise that typesetting can be copyright - this is the reason I
   can't buy a book of Bach's Urtexts (for example), photocopy parts
   of it and give them away.

Sorry, but you can (at least in Austria or Germany, but not in
France)!  Typesetting an Urtext edition isn't copyrighted --
typesetting is a handcraft, not an art.  What's copyrighted in an
Urtext edition is the editor's comment or the revision remarks,
cadenzas added by the editor, etc.
