First a report from Jean-François Taillard: I want to report a quite amazing story that happens to me. One of my records, including some performance made on J.S. Bach suite, and legally recorded to the Swiss competent authority (known as SUISA), are illegally available on the iTunes Store!! The proof: Make a search on the iTunes Store with my name "Taillard”, then click on "Basel Brass Quintet". Then look at the author mentioned for this track, my name is indeed indicated! Now, go on my website, and you will find the same music track which is freely available: http://www.free-music-scores.com/brass_trio.htm So, you can get for free the same MP3 file which is sold on the iTunes Store... The original record by Basel Brass Quintet was produced in 1995, under a German label known as AUROPHON (not existing anymore). So, in summary the album entitled "A celebration 250 minutes of Bach" is illegal as it includes tracks for which the Major/label does not own the rights (at least for my record, but my story could also be true for many others tracks included in this album)... We wanted to publish this information to illustrate how "illegal" music tracks or albums can end up on the iTunes Store due to the rather annoying behavior of some music majors/labels which do not really check for copyrights, and act as pirates, the same way some users share and download illegally music tracks from P2P network. Maybe Majors think they are not concerned by the law, and think the world should turn the way they want it to turn, not the way it is supposed to be. [translation by Linathael]
