Humdedum's Sheet Music Shop
Re: Humdedum's Sheet Music Shop
If you're selling something that you have written/created, then you're in the right place. However, selling copyrighted material for ToO funds seems to be a little sketchy in the legal and/or ethical department. You don't own the rights to the content you're selling, if I understand correctly. I'm not a musician, so I don't know how shareable sheet music should be, but if you have to pay for it in the store, which I'm guessing you do, then sharing it this way seems problematic.
That said, if you head on over to Project Gutenberg, there's a whole ton of great public-domain sheet music out there.Catspaw wrote:If you're selling something that you have written/created, then you're in the right place.

But yeah, unless it's specifically public domain (most older composers' music is) it's off limits copyright-wise.
Thanks for the clarification, Sherlock! I remember seeing that section on Project Gutenberg, now that you mention it - I just never checked it out due to my lack of musical talent.Sherlock wrote:That said, if you head on over to Project Gutenberg, there's a whole ton of great public-domain sheet music out there.Catspaw wrote:If you're selling something that you have written/created, then you're in the right place.

The examples listed in the first post of this thread strike me as non-public domain material, humdedum, so they and other similar materials wouldn't be appropriate to share.
