The only reason there are performance rights on a work is because the work is copyrighted in the first place. If there is no copyright on a work (or if it's in the public domain), performance rights don't exist and collection can't be compelled. Copyright is the basis for performance rights. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
