What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I am in MA.
I am a professional singer and I would like to record and post my singing voice with performances of Mozart and others with a piano accompanist. I may even want to take donations for future work through pay pal. What copyright laws do I need to be worried about. Most of the songs will be Mozart, Puccini, Wagner, Schumann, and the like but occasionally I would like to get into something like Jerome Kern and Gershwin and 20th century hymnal music. How do I search for patents. I have heard from other musicians that descendants will gladly take money for their permission whether you need their permission or not and many songs have similar names so how do I go about doing a patent search and what information do I really to look for when I find the right one?
-Thanks, Frenchtoast
