Open Thread #4: Borrowing Arrangements
Since a friend suggested this, and since I’ll be out for the day at another seminar, I decided to start an open thread posing this question: Is it wrong for one group to borrow another group’s arrangement of a song without giving credit or paying royalties?
Does it make any difference if the group has retired (even if their arrangements are still under copyright)?
Does it make any difference if the two groups had the same producer, and it was the producer’s call?
