Generally the score is sold with permission to perform it, fwiw.  I 
remember in school band, we would sometimes have to buy two sets of the 
music, because each set came with 10 trumpet copies and we had eleven 
trumpet players or something.

Don't you have yellow pages in the UK?

Ooo, that's *interesting*.

Heck, we don't even have any shops that sell sheet music in my city any 
more. :-(

(The last one went bankrupt a few months ago.)

But maybe you can do something with the Internet...?

I'd love to see the score for Pirates of the Carribean! ;-)

Well for example, I've never seen the score for the Bridge Zone from 
Sonic the Hedgehog (IIRC, II on the MasterSystem, but I might be wrong). 
But I can still play it. And I've made a recording of it.

Doesn't change the fact that I don't have the publisher's permission to 
do any of this...

BTW, is this the same "Joseph and the Technicoloured Dreamcoat" briefly 
mentioned in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?!  With such an absurd 
title, I thought Adams made it up!... O_o

Dude.  Seriously.  It only took me three searches to figure out "sheet 
music" was the magic phrase, not "score". :-)

I can play the music of most of the Sonic zones. And Green Day songs. And
dualtrax chiptunes (http://dualtrax.com). Etc. Never seen a score of any of
those.

How many youtube videos of people playing Mario theme? How many sued?

(I know YouTube is *full* of other kind of copyright infringement...)

Nope.

Well, there's lots of people doing actual copyright infringement on YouTube
and don't get sued, but still... I don't think it's "wrong". IANAL (I
should find one and ask him).

emulated old video games for cheap. :-)

Yeah. And at home I have a book of sheet music for the musical Cats.

It features one-finger melodies and guitar chords.

Clearly it is at best vaguely related to what the orchestra actually 
play during the performance. Several of the songs aren't even in the 
book at all.

(Similar story for The Lion King. Similar again for War of the Worlds. 
And again for The Snowman. In fact, I have a whole stack of scores like 
this!)

I'm talking about getting the *real* score...

Conceivably.
