RE: music question

["John R. Tersigni" <jrt7@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul, If you're  playing music for educational or entertainment purposes
only you're not in violation of copyright. And if it's in a school library
and even
if the price of admission goes to the school, you still should be ok under
Fair Use.

Mostly, it's sad that you had to ask this question if it's come down to
educators
worrying about playing little jazz in the library at a function. I can hear
"Hello Dolly" playing now. Turn up the volume Paul! Blast it.

Subject: music question


I do not know if this is the right avenue, but I do have a copyright
question for you. We intend to mount an jazz exhibit (books, CD, etc) in
October at the library. For the reception, during the official opening, we
were planning to play some jazz music (classics only, Armstrong for
example). The music would play for a couple of hours. Would there be
any copyright problems? We will not duplicate or anything of the kind.
Anybody with an opinion/answer/advice, welcome!

Sincerely

Paul Tremblay
