In fact, a few years ago, a guy engraved the very same piece and put it up on the net, and got a notice from the copyright holder asking merely to take it down.That's the nice way of dealing with that situation. A Cease&Desist notice with lawyer fees attached is the neutral way. Suing for statutory and/or estimated damages (based on download numbers, possibly estimated) is the non-nice way.
Which reminds me that this very piece, namely the opening chorus ‘O Fortuna’, is said to form a major/considerable portion of Schott’s revenue, and that they have been keen to squeeze that out: It is told that, when Michael Jackson used it in a concert tour without permission, they waited till the concert tour was over and then sued, thus maximising the amount they got.
