Aren't there verifiable incidents of pre-copyright composers jealously guarding their autographs from copyists? On reading about subsequent performances of such works by others I conjure up a distorted vision of members of the audience with photographic memories and lightning fast penmanship, prepared to whip out an illicit copy of the work. Human xerox machines!
