[Page] 94 [Quote from Patry’s book] Here are some examples of the importance of copying (whether of copyrighted works or not). Children and adults who wish to learn how to play a musical instrument must do so by listening to the sounds their teachers make and then trying to replicate those sounds as closely as possible. Many times you play the same passage in unison so that you can keep your teacher’s sound stored in your brain along with yours. Tricky rhythms can only be learned by listening to others and by copying their playing. For most musicians, this process of copying continues throughout their lives, as you seek out new sounds you want to copy. [My Comments] 
And most of these instances of copying are not being restricted by existing copyright laws. Moreover, the right of a master to prevent transformative copying of his works by others does not necessarily mean that all of them will exercise such right. Just ask!
