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).

I just ran into http://www.gog.com/ this site.  For folks liking 
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.

Then I would say call up Disney's legal team and ask them where to buy 
the rights to perform it. :-)

google for "disney contact"

Go to the fourth link.

Scroll about a third of the way down.

# For the Disney Legal Department, call (407) 828-1750.

That would be +1 for you, since it's in the USA.

Call them up, ask them who to talk to. They might not want to give you 
the score, but then you'll know. :-)
