Just wondering about the legalities of chord sheets (lead sheets - and Fake Books, for that matter) and copyright infringement. Apparently, it's legal to create but not to share (at least not by posting on a public forum, I guess) BIAB-generated cover tunes.

Really? Even if they are only rhythm section backing tracks (bass & drums only) with no melody at all? Should they be shared instead by email with Tor? Or perhaps by regular mail in a plain manila envelope?

I'd love to be able to share (as in give away) my BIAB cover tunes with others who might find them useful. They might even improve them with more accurate or alternative chords/drums/bass lines/original MIDI solos - and pass them on. But I guess I/we can't do this. If so, it seems awfully strange to me (and dare I say, us?)
