Copyright Digital Sheet Music
in the Scorch Format
What are copyright protected songs?
Imagine if
you were a songwriter and wrote a hit song that was published.
You would get paid for every time someone buys your song. You
and the publisher have what is called a copyright - that is the
right that is given to someone to have a copy of your song, for
a fee.
There is also copyright fee that goes to the recording artist,
the publisher, the lyricist etc. By illegally offering the music
for free, the musicians and publishers are not getting what they
deserve, a copyright fee. When you buy music from us, all the
copyright fees are looked after using our publishing
arrangements with companies like Hal Leonard Music, Alfred Music
Publishers and many others. Everyone must pay to print these
selections as we have to pay a license fee every time you
purchase and print a song that is copyright protected. These
will be songs that are from current artists and older artists
like the Beatles, big-band selections and most songs that date
post 1923.
You will be able to transpose and print
the first page of most selections for free.
77,906 files available!
(except for some guitar tab
and ensembles as these arrangements need to
stay in the original key. There will be text
indicating the score cannot be transposed if
you load one of these selections.))
Once you purchase a copyright protected
Scorch score, you will be able to
print the
music 2 times.
Once you purchase a copyright protected
Scorch score, you will be able to
