One solution would be for publishers to only sell in duplicates. For
instance, if you purchase a vocal piece, it would be sold along with a
second copy for the accompanist. Automatically. Part of a package deal.
It would at least stop some copying. If you buy a duet, you'd be buying the
two parts and the accompaniment--again, automatically.

Too expensive? Well, if we aren't going to make a copy we'd have to buy
the extra parts anyway, right? And by purchasing what we need, perhaps the
publishers could cut a break on the price for buying "in volume."
