Copy rights
A music composition is the property of the composer. He or she owns the exclusive right to decide where or when a composition is to be performed. This right is given in the Norwegian law; "Lov om opphavsrett til åndsverk" of May 12th 1961. The only exception to this law is when the last surviving owner of the proprietary rights has passed away 70 years ago or more. Hereafter the composition is in the public domain and can be performed without authorization.
