Dave: >Question is: I know from doing brochures that generally, artwork is copyrighted for 100 years then in public domain. Is the same true for classical music?< Yes, but… That's just the work itself. The *performance* is also copyrighted for 75 years (I think), which means that just about any music you'd get commercially is still under performance copyright, even if the piece itself is in public domain (to make sure, look for a symbol with a "P" surrounded by a circle–that denotes performance copyright). Seems to me there's a company somewhere that does classical buyout tapes/CDs, though of course I don't have the name handy <nertz!>… Tim Liebe
