I believe the answer is:

oliver cromwell

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'general' is the definition.
(Oliver Cromwell is an example)

'memory satisfactory on musical copyright' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'memory' could be 'rom' (Read-Only Memory on a computer) and 'rom' is found in the answer.
'satisfactory' could be 'well' (similar in meaning) and 'well' is present in the answer.
'musical' could be 'oliver' (musical based on Oliver Twist) and 'oliver' is found within the answer.
'copyright' could be 'c' (as in the copyright symbol, a C in a circle) and 'c' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
