It's his music. He holds the rights to it. Let's assume, without getting into the details of international copyright law, that he can prevent your posting a performance of his music altogether (which is probably true, if you're paying him nothing). If so, he has the de facto right to impose conditions on your using it. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
