I fully agree with you. I fully respect the copyright conventions, and fully
abide by them - Sneezy is chock full of stuff authored by people other than
myself (including copies of contemporary manuscripts), every bit of which
has the full permission of the authors.

The determination of what a COPY is - is the problem, especially when the
notes are in the public domain. If someone publishes the Urtext of a piece
published before 1927, and I copy the notes from it - am I violating a
copyright somewhere?
