It is also probably the reason why so few single arias can now be bought. = By not reprinting and distributing them any longer, publishers seem to implicitly allow the copying of one single aria from a whole score... With= in a few years, if publishers are clever enough (which will not be the case f= or all of them, especially in France!), separate arias will probably be available from the internet as pdf files or such, but we live in a transition period, during which obvious things are uselessly complicated.
