Hi,
I've been trying to figure my way around this one and I do need some advice -- Basically I'm going to be using some classical music scores for my DV film -- scores primarily by Beethoven/Schubert/Bach.
As far as I could look up online, not very many of their compositions are in the public domain yet -- the composers are in the public domains, but their recorded performances are copyrighted -- and these are what I'll be using for my film -- I'll be using Vegas to extract the symphonies from CDs of these performances.
I will be sending my film out to festivals, so this invclves a 'public broadcast'.
Any hints/tips/suggestions on how to deal with this? I'll be terribly restricted in terms of what classical music scores I can use that are completely in the public domain...how do other fellow indie filmmakers deal with such copyright issues...?
Thanks for any help!
Kunal.
