is it copyrighted?



[jslasher1]

@ThehouseofJesus The composition remains in copyright until 75-years following the death of JS Zamecnick. Therefore, you may not use it without infringing copyright.

Thumbs up if you're watching this in 1932.

[CookooProductions]

cool I can use these kinds of songs for my silent films!!

[jslasher1]

@CookooProductions No, you may not. They remain in copyright.

50 years after the  composer's death have passed, and that's the important thing in this case AFAIK.

[jslasher1]

@codingfreak You are incorrect. The copyright law was changed in 1996 (known as the Sonny Bono amendment). The composition (incorrectly called a 'song' by YouTube and iTunes) remains in copyright for 75-years after the death of Mr Zamecnick.

Its 50 years after the authors death

My last name was Zamecnik before I got married. It is pretty cool to see a pioneer in the film industry has the same wierd last name as you.

[InternetVidz]

is this song copyrighted? I would love to use it in one of my videos.

[TRiCKSTARTV]

@InternetVidz I think the copyright should vanish in 2024.

[Andaluz14]

@InternetVidz music with more than 50 years have no longer copyright if i'm well informed :D

[averit]

@Andaluz14 Read the description: it was recorded in 2010 by Iwona Lebioda (probably from Poland) ;)

[Andaluz14]

@averit yeah but the original is not from 2010 ;)

[averit]

@Andaluz14 That's why you may use original if you'll find it somewhere ^^ This track is a sord of reproduction so you'd need to get a premission I guess ;) Cheers!

[Andaluz14]

@averit i know :D i didn't say that THIS song has no copyright i only said that songs with more than 50 years are no longer copyrighted :D

@InternetVidz

Probably, but look into the whole if made before a certain date rule, and it might fall under there.

[jslasher1]

@InternetVidz The composition (inaccurately defined as a 'song' by YouTube) remains in copyright until 75 years following the death of the composer. You may, therefore, not use it.
