A Word on Copyright 

This website comprises a mix of public domain materials (federal case law, out-of-copyright musical numbers), portions of copyrighted musical works, and newly published copyrightable material (commentary and compilation). We believe that the reproductions of excerpts of musical works and motion pictures with existing copyrights clearly fall within the ambit of fair use contemplated by Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Statute. On digital renderings of portions of materials still enjoying copyright protection we have reproduced copyright notices that appear on the copies from which we created digital versions.

We encourage readers to explore the site fully, and in doing so you may download and modify the site’s contents for non-commercial uses. If you reproduce or modify materials from this site you are responsible for determining whether such use falls under fair use provisions of the copyright law, or requires a license from the copyright owner.
