Public domainPublic domainfalsefalse
The assets of Edison Records have been transferred to the National Park Service. These recordings may be considered public domain through the donation (this is unclear), or otherwise orphan works as copyright has not been asserted by the National Park Service or any successors to Edison Records.
Sound recordings that were first published prior to January 1, 1924 are in the public domain in the United States. For Edison Records recordings that were published before 1924 and that do not incorporate preexisting copyrighted material, the template {{PD-US-record-expired}} may be applicable.
Note: The restored MP3 versions of the recordings from the University of California Santa Barbara Library are available only under an unacceptable non-commercial license.[1] Unedited raw (.wav) versions were formerly available from that site under a dedication into the public domain; while they are no longer available, those .wav files downloaded before the change in policy (dated June 2009) can still be used freely.
Public domainPublic domainfalsefalse
Under the Classics Protection and Access Act (17 U.S.C. § 1401), this sound recording is in the public domain in the United States because it was published before January 1, 1924.
Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons.
