Parody/remix of a classical song, infrignment of copyright law?

Question

If let's say, I rewrite/do a parody/a remix of a classical song (e.g. Mozart) and performed it in public, will I be breaching the copywrite law?

Answer 1

In general, it is violating copywrite laws to use any portion of a song, etc... Now with that said, some music is open to the public and you would need to verify it is free to use before creating the remix. IE, not ALL classical music is open to the public...

Answer 2

The works of Mozart had long been the property of the public because of the long period of time that these were made public and no longer covered by Copyright Law. Thus, you can have a parody and remix of the classical song and use it only for personal purposes.

Answer 3

Copyright law allows for the use protected materials when making a parody, under very specific guidelines.

But Frag (above) is correct -- Mozart is in the public domain, so it is outside the scope of most copyright laws.

Answer 4

You are free to use the works of composers that died more than 70 years ago, with some exceptions. Works first published in the United States after 1924 may still have some protection independent of when the author died.

Answer 5

definite, in many circumstances classical works have been written an prolonged time in the past and no longer in rights. whether, many classical sounding works, inclusive of symphonies, operas, chamber music and concertos, have been written by technique of cutting-edge composers and extremely lots secure. the three Bs (Bach, Beethoven, Brahms) are actual honest game.
