person's music or song. See the full copyright statement at <A

I write a piece based on someone else’s idea?<BR>Ideas are not protected by
copyright, so you are free to create a piece based on someone else’s idea.
However,<BR>you must be careful to ensure that you do not reproduce a
“substantial part”, that is, an important or distinctive<BR>part, of the way
someone else has expressed their idea.<BR>It can be particularly difficult in
the context of music to distinguish between an idea and its expression in
a<BR>particular work. If your work incorporates elements or
<STRONG>melodies</STRONG> of another person’s work, you may need to
get<BR>permission or specific legal advice.<BR><BR>Kind regards,<BR>Fran
