In this paper, AATS examines the complexities of copyright laws and fair usage. AATS recognizes and aggressively supports the publishing business by encouraging legal purchase of music. Both professional and non-professional entities must better understand “best legal practice.”
We recommend that publishers continue work toward 21st century technological initiatives, licensing to facilitate pedagogic, ethical, collaborative, and easily accessible use of printed and electronically provided music. AATS hopes that complicated conversations continue resulting in fairness to composers, publishers, being mindful of practical usage for education, rehearsal, audition, performance and enjoyment.
