Wikipedia has a lot of big articles about copyright as well as countless sources for copyleft/public domain material. Regarding sound recordings in the US they say: Before 1972, sound recordings were not subject to federal copyright, but copying was nonetheless regulated under various state torts and statutes, some of which had no duration limit. The Sound Recording Amendment of 1972 extended federal copyright to recordings fixed on or after February 15, 1972 (the effective date of the act), and declared that recordings fixed before that date would remain subject to state or common law copyright. The Copyright Act of 1976 maintained this until 2047, which was subsequently extended by the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act to 2067. As a result, no sound recording can reliably be considered in the public domain in the United States before that date, even if the recording was in existence before 1923 and even if it originated in another country where it has entered the public domain.And all work published before 1923 or is government works is on the public domain. To keep it easier, therefore (As there is also copyright on specific recordings) I think it's best to assume all music is copyrighted and treat it accordingly.

I like a post on my birthday, cuz my mom always said I was her special little girl ;D no offence THD, but it's kinda fun, even for grown ups to have a special post just for you I completely agree with you Gal, I was just saying SOME (no names ) people don't like other people talking to them on their birthdays, as for me I LOVE birthdays! That's why I originally suggested this thread, but after Elliot's first reply, I thought the idea was headed for the archives. ;D I'm glad there's other people on this Forum who like birthdays, at least I'm not alone! ;D

Unfortunately you'll likely find out soon...
Peter has as much control over himself when posting my birthday threads as he does when he sees a free six pack of beer ;D

Don't care that they know it - but my birthday always depresses me. The last thing I want is to celebrate the darn thing!

In the UK the current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, was born on 21 April 1926. But, her Official Birthday is celebrated in June. As Elliott is the monarch of this forum, he can make his official birthday: February 29. Then he won't have to celebrate it for 4 nore years.

But... Even if he does decide to put it on Feb 29th... Nothing prevents us from celebrating the date of "The memorial day of Elliot's ex-birthday", eh? ;D
