I have a general question about copyright law in concerns to arranging and performing music that is not in the public domain, but for which the composer is deceased and there is no discernible method of contacting their estate. What are the rules here? Does the estate still have a say over whether the music can be arranged? And if there's no way to contact them, or they do not respond to an inquiry, have they forfeited their right to approve any arrangements, or must one simply give up?
I know copyright laws are incredibly complex and I should absolutely consult with a lawyer, but I'm just hoping to get a general idea of what to do in this type of situation.
