The same issues that currently exist for paper sheet music apply to music electronically distributed. Legal rights to the music are obtained by the publishers and digital versions are available directly from multiple venders. There is a great deal of music available that is in the public domain, and these works can be scanned in the eStand or electronically imported. Generally, you also have the right to make an archival copy for your own use. A scanned version for the eStand may be considered in compliance with that situation. Please check with a copyright attorney as to your rights in any specific instance. eStand systems also provide data rights protection features for copyrighted commercially obtained music. eSTAND ENCOURAGES EVERYONE TO RESPECT COPYRIGHTS.
