Say I’m making a computer game for children, and I need some background music. I reach over in the bookshelf and pull out my wife’s book music book with children’s songs, fire up Rosegarden, manually enter the music in the notes editor, and make a MIDI file of the music.
What kind of situation am I in as far as copyright and permission from the publisher, etc, etc.
Is the situation analogous to a public performance, or what?
