As far as I know (and I am no a legal scholar) poor taste is not a crime. Doesn't make it legal, you just never got caught.Īs far as I can see, nobody has violated the forum rules by either POSTING links to sites that infringe copyright or requesting same. Do we all violate this on a daily basis, sure but it's like driving 95 down the freeway for years and you never got caught. Whether or not you're making a dime off of it has nothing to do with it, it's the performance that counts.

Technically you're not even allowed to do public performances for free without permission.

Short and sweet, chords cannot be copywritten but melodies and certain song specific musical hooks are. It's not that difficult to understand.Ĭopyright law is spelled out in detail all over the net and you can find tons of hits in 10 seconds so please don't take my word for it. You are allowed to post links to your own original songs.įORUM RULES are listed right at the top in big bold letters. Posting (or requesting) links to songs, music or other copyrighted material is forbidden.

It's just that it's in very poor taste to be talking about how to find illegal music downloads on a commercial music site.Ĩ. Jazzmammal: Out of curiosity, are you and administrator of this forum? #276441 - 12/24/14 08:35 PM Re: Jazz Fake books with Melodies ( not just chords ) for BIAB The more I think about it, maybe it would not be the worst thing in the world to input the melodies/sheet music into BIAB oneself if there is no other alternative. Wouldn't it also be nice to also have a BIAB file that you could upload to have the sheet music/melody as well ? On a side issue, one of the things that would also be nice is to have a big fake book with all the songtracks from the famous jazz musicians who played those songs on an accomanying cd ( a mega Jamie book ), though at $1 a song, it would be expensive. Some of us want to have the original melody/sheet music to start with and go from there. Thank you both for weighing in on this melody/sheet music BIAB issue.įor those of us who have a licensed copy of BIAB, purchased soundtracks of the jazz music we use, and have purchased the sheet music melodies from the likes of Jamey Abebersold and others, there has to be a way of easily inputing these melodies into BIAB for further manipulation in BIAB, without having to rely on BIAB's interpretation of the chords.
