I'm learning to play an instrument and I would like to transcribe the songs I heard for later practicing. I have some questions regarding transcribing music and the legality of using musical transcription:
- Is it legal for me to transcribe a copyrighted song?
- Do I need permission to sell or give away my musical transcriptions for free, in both when case the transcription may imitate the original sounds or is a recomposition of the songs.
- Can I perform the transcription in public, and the performance may involving profits for myself (i.e selling tickets, crowd donation, selling performance recordings...)
