One question about copyright regarding music which is not of public
domain: how do you find the copyright's holder? 

In the U.S., the Copyright office of the Library of Congress is supposed 
to maintain the registry which provides the current identity of the 
coypright owner, though they may not always be up to date.  Recently 
published material--collections, and songbooks--is usually pretty 
accurate as to who the owner of the copyright was at the time the 
article was published. Older material becomes less accurate as 
copyrights change hands, and as copyright holders names change.

Both BMI and ASCAP have searchable online databases where one can find 
copyright information.

But not all works are registered with BMI or ASCAP. There is also SESAC 
in the U.S., and plenty of smaller works never are registered with 
performing rights organizations.
