{{helpme}}If I listen to music on the radio, then write down what I heard as a musical score and reproduce (a picture of) that score on Wikipedia, am I violating copyright law? It is not clear "who wrote" the piece or whether it was obtained from the "public domain." Please advise.

Take "Guinnevere" for specific example: Written by David Crosby late 60's; arranged by Richard Dworsky 1992; transcribed by me 2009.

Would I need written permission from all parties in this chain (except myself of course)?

Then more complex questions like "What if I alter the 1992 arrangement (sufficiently)?" Etc.

Thanks.

• I can't imagine why you would possibly want to do that, as that goes very deeply into original research territory. So it may not be violating copyright, but it's not particularly logical.

Hi there. I didn't know the answer to your question, so I asked in the irc:#mediawiki-commons channel, but nobody from there responded either. Therefore, I suggest asking your question in Wikipedia:Media_copyright_questions. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  20:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Original research is curious. How are the following different?

• I read four history books and summarize my findings with references to these books;

• I listen to a folk music album and summarize my findings in a <music> snippet with references to the album.

Hi, its user:Clemsonwikier. I am a currently a student at Clemson University and I am taking an English course that requires me to create/edit a Wiki page. Could you please read over my major edits to the Gas dynamics page and tell me what you think?
