Copy Right Laws on sheet music

from what i remember, you cant use something like 8 consecutive notes without breaking the copyright laws. im probably wrong, but i dont wanna google it.
 
"No. The copyright holder has the exclusive right to make derivative works."

Can you elaborate.

The current situation is that i have a number of works that are quartet versions of songs like Satisfaction and Sweet Home Alabama

These songs are already written by those bands, and technically owned by them, but the writer of the quartet music can claim they are his? Isn't it a derivative work of the original?
 
Ok, these laws are sort of weird

according to this site, as mugs has said, the original owner owns the song, and derivatives, so how the hell can this company produce this music? wouldn't it be a derivative?
I'm guessing they got rights to produce the derivative and "own it" unless its considered so different that it is no longer the ownership of the original musician?
 
Patent Office won't do anything for you.

Edit: Didn't see Problem Solved b/c text is behind dark background 😛
