Hahn 304@http://www.musicianwages.com/forums/ <p>If the song you&#39;re playing is just Canon in D, then you wouldn&#39;t need to worry about any copyright problems. The copyright on Canon in D has long, long since run out. </p> <p>The arrangement you&#39;re playing too, though, could be a consideration. I&#39;m not sure what the law says about this kind of thing. </p> <p>Have you tried contacting Jerry C?

I was wondering if I&#39;d run into any copyright issues while recording a digital portfolio on DVD for our business. I&#39;m looking to play violin along w/an abridged version of Canon Rocks by Jerry C. The original Canon in D is a classical song by Pachelbel. We want to run that audio behind my husband&#39;s photography on a DVD that we would use for promotional purposes only, we would not be selling the DVDs.<br /> Any info is appreciated.<br /> Thanks! </p>
