But if the performance was done gratis, no money asked of the audience, or at home with no audience, would it be infringement? As I understand it, the payments to ASCAP et al are to cover monies earned by playing the pieces. If no monies were earned, is it infringement?
As a composer, I'm interested. I'd be delighted if someone would post a performance of one of my pieces on youtube, because it might increase sales of the sheet music, assuming it was properly credited. If it weren't properly credited, I'd have a problem with it, and frankly I have no idea what my publisher would think. (No, it's not oboe music; it's brass music.)
