  1. The creator of the NWC file (normally the person posting the file) has given permission for the file to be displayed on the Scriptorium, and
  2. Either the work is in the public domain, or the copyright holder (this may be the composer/lyricist, the publisher or a third party) has given permission for the file to be displayed on the Scriptorium.
    If the work is under copyright, it is posted on the Scriptorium purely for the private, noncommercial use of Scriptorium visitors. Any other use without the copyright holder's permission is a violation of copyright.
More information about copyright is detailed on our copyright page.

Any queries about the copyright status of a work should be forwarded to the submitter of the file (their e-mail address is on the details page of each work). If you are not satisfied that the piece can be on the Scriptorium, please notify the Scriptorium and we will discuss the matter further with the poster and remove the file if necessary.
