I once offered, pro bono publico, to make playable again
a 19th century edition of a chamber work by Onslow.
It was disintegrating, therefore unusable
and also out of print. This would necessitate copying it and adding
bar number. I was told that this was against the law!
What tosh! He died in 1852.
When later I wanted to play this work it proved easy
to find it elsewhere.

Hopefully this wasn't a solicitor or lawyer! They've added 20 years to many of the existing copyrights, not 200!

Cheers,
