Which law has been broken? Under which law can the owner of these
originals prevent others from making copies?
No but if they are owned by a private individual or even a corporate entity
such
as a library they own the mechanical and electronic reproduction rights. Just
the same as they own the right to tell people no photographs of the inside of
their home it that's how they want it.
I am not a lawyer, but it seem obvious that copyright law has not been broken
as
these were created by Mozart long enough ago that they have fallen into the
public domain...
Your are correct - it isn't copyright, but ownership rights. Say you owned a
VanGogh. I visit you and take a photo of it, and then disseminate it on the
internet without your permission or knowledge. Same thing as what people do
with music autographs - I own it, I get to say who sees it. I agree that it is
mostly a healthy thing to be able to study these great resources in the ways
that the internet enables us to, but to take what belongs to a private
individual and disseminate without their permission is electronic theft.
