Copyright notices are published by the Intellectual Property Office to help explain specific areas of copyright in the UK.

This notice is aimed at individuals or groups who may wish to reproduce printed music in some way. This notice is not meant as a substitute for legal advice on individual cases, but it can help readers understand some of the issues involved. It is not a conclusive view of the law – only a decision of the court can provide that.
