I've noticed that many older scores (like from the 30's-60's) are available for purchase as DL on iTunes and Google Play Music among others, with the copyright holders listed as Classic Soundtrack Collector, Salt & Pepper, TP4, and of course the famous Harkit, amongst others. For example, A Gathering Of Eagles, Studs Lonigan, Men In War, City Of Fear, The Prize, Lonely Are the Brave, Fall Of the Roman Empire (same tracks as LLL) and many others are available. Are these legit labels? I know there was some discussion here (http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=113800&forumID=1&archive=0) about Red Bitch Music being a non-legit source but being able to release stuff due to public domain laws for scores older than 50 years in the EU? If this is true, how could that apply to music produced in the US? All of the above titles are also available on at least the US iTunes store. If these are not legit, why don't the copyright holders send cease and desist notices to Apple et al? I'm confused. Also, does anyone know why the same albums are listed more than once on the DL sites? For example, First Knight appears twice on iTunes. Same price, same tracklist, same album art, same copyright holder, same release date. I've seen it a lot with a number of titles.

What about the reputation of all the big name labels that release lossy music?
