The Music Library Association has been covering copyright on their site as
well. Much is regarding uses of recordings.

Subject: [ARSCLIST] copyright
websites
The ARSC Fair Practices Committee is putting together a page for the ARSC
website that will include links to sites with information on copyright as
it affects recordings. Committee member Dick Spottswood has suggested
that we ask if others know of appropriate sites, so - if you know
of a site that should be listed please let me know. Sites
should be (1) relevant to recordings, (2) reasonably permanent and (3) useful
to the general reader. One of the best I've found so far is actually
about British copyright law and historic recordings, at
http://www.btinternet.com/~tony.kent/soundrec.htm
I don't know of anything like this for the U.S., although the essay "Who Owns
Pre-1972 Sound Recordings?" at
http://www22.brinkster.com/paradio/pages/pre1972.htm is
certainly useful.
