I think copyright law probably varies from country to country. For Canadian
regulations, see www.cancopy.com. Here's a good site with US info -
http://www.benedict.com/. You might also want to check with whoever you're
auditioning for. I just entered a competition where the rules specifically
forbid the use of photocopies, and stated that original copies of each piece
must be used by the pianist/given to the adjudicator - with disqualification
the result of using a photocopy!

A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine
picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not
obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human
soul. -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, German writer and scientist (1749-1832)
