When were sound recordings first covered by copyright?
Could a film maker use, in a film, a recording of a public domain musical work that was recorded before that date, without infringing? For example, say the Berlin Philharmonic made a recording of Mozart's 40th in 1953, and the film maker takes the performance from a famous-label LP distributed in 1953 and uses that for the music in her film. No infringement?
