  • A friend and I went into this Fed Ex Office to have them blow up the timpani part for Beethoven's 7th Symphony. The manager said that they cannot copy music because it is protected under copyright law. We tried to explain that the 7th Symphony was written in 1811 and is Public Domain but he insisted that "somebody owns the copyright on it." Unfortunately, that manager does not understand how copyright law works. We even showed him that the music was available on the International Music Score Library Project (www.imslp.org) which only has works that are in the public domain and he said that he cannot trust something just because some website says it's true. I wish that manager could understand that everything that exists on a piece of paper is protected under copyright law so, when a college student throws their text book on top of your copier, that's protected under copyright law, when someone brings in a picture and copies it, that's protected under copyright law - however, copyrights do have limits and do not last forever. Works do become public domain after a certain amount of time and orchestra pieces written in the 1800s are in the public domain now. The manager did suggest a "loop hole". He said that if we submitted the print job online and clicked the "I understand I can't print anything protected under copyright" box that they would then be able to print our music for us because, for some reason, us clicking a box relieves them of their duties to protect the assets of those who hold the copyrights. Unfortunately, we will not be returning to this Fed Ex Office for any or our printing needs due to this managers refusal to understand how copyrights work.
