How do I get a license to sell copyrighted sheet music?
I’ve begun to write piano sheet music of Green Day song with Sibelius and upload them to the internet for free (which I have read is legal. If it is not please tell me.). I have the ability to make a small amount of money from this (from filesonic.com, affiliate marketing, and donations), but have thought about selling the music for a low price once I have a relatively large collection. How do I get a license for this and about how much are the royalties?
First of all, distributing a derivative work (a work based on an already-copyrighted work; your sheet music) without the permission of the copyright holder (Green Day or their agency) is illegal, regardless of whether you’re accepting money for it or not.
To obtain permission, you’ll need to contact the copyright holder or the performing rights organization that represents the copyright holder.
