Public Performance Right for Sound Recordings
By Karl Schroeder

[ Ref. Copyright Warning at YouTube, 13704 MMDigest ]

In his letter from the U.K., John Page says, "Buying a roll gives
you the right to own the recording but not the right to its public
performance."

But what about band organ rolls and coin piano rolls like Styles A,
G, O, H, et cetera?  These were meant for public performance when
they were sold.  In fact, in the case for coin rolls, the public
pays for the performance.
