@mrbing993 Excuse me sir, but you don't get it. Public domain? Yeah. But... Nokia says it is its sound trademark!!!! "PUBLIC DOMAIN"??? Who's violating the public domain principle? It's just DISGUSTING entrepreneurial arrogance. That of yours is a very poor stance in culture matters
@magomezga Well, It's totally legal to take an excerpt even of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 and declare it a copyrighted Tune, that is, no company should use that tune for itself. Nokia didn't take the WHOLE Gran Vals, just the excerpt
The tune is not stolen at all. Nokia has bought all the rights to this tune. What is more, we should thank Nokia for making this tune the most heard tune in the world (it is estimated that this tune is heard about 2 billion a day).
@moro2mou Nokia didn't boght anything my friend. You don't have any idea of how this companies work!! In fact, they used the song just after the prescription of the author's rights. They didn't buy anything beacause there was nothing to buy. INSTEAD THEY CLAIM THE TUNE AS ITS SOUND TRADEMARK!!!

@agvap Think how many more people discovered Tarrega and his work simply because of that ringtone. Granted that most people will probably recognize the Nokia tune but never know any of Tarrega's works...but at least a couple people will :)

It's not like this was any big secret and in first Nokia phones it was even named after the song. Go see Wikipedia: Nokia Tune

If the man died in 1909, then his work would be public in 70 years or so since his death, so his copyright over this melody is FORFEIT, bitches :D

@mokmo23 I agree, but I don't think it should be used for commercials

It's not really "stolen" if the rights are bought and the song is openly credited.
