Teachers,Composers and Copyrights

Abstract

This Article represents some of the other side of the coin from the view expressed by Stuart J. Ling in his “A Brotherhood of Thieves?” which appeared in the June-July issue of MEJ. Mr. Hauser, president of the Theodore Presser Com- pany, Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, is a former pres- ident of the Music Industry Council of the MENC, and also of the Music Publishers Association of the United States. He presented this paper at the session on copyright law during the 1959 MENC North Central convention in Chicago. Perhaps it should be noted that the author wrote without intention of preparing a “companion” article for Mr. Ling's, which was written independently, as was Mr. Hauser's paper.
