In this episode:
Our guest this week is James Whitfield who is a North Carolina Music Professor and... Doug's Dad!

We talk about such things as what types of copyright and usage there is when it pertains to written orchestral music and compositions.
We also discuss the change over the past years of how something becomes public domain and how the Copyright Term Extension Act also known as the Sonny Bono Act recently changed it all. For the better? Or is it worse?
