Question by Idle_Idol: Can anyone tell me how I can sell sheet music online? Do I have copyright problems if I sell?
I’ve arranged a few popular songs into sheet music. My problem is how to sell them. And do I have copyright problems with the original artists? If yes, what can I do about it? Please, can anyone help me?

Yes, you will have major copyright issues. All songwriters belong to a union which collects royalties for the use of their songs. That group is like rabid dogs going after people not paying royalties. Contact the original artists (they all have business management companies) and ask for information on how to sell sheet music arrangements, and the particulars of royalty payment.
