Talk:Wikilegal/Copyright Status of Sound Recordings Fixed Prior to February 15 1972
Pertinent law review articles[edit]
The disclaimer at the top of this content page says that it may not continue to represent the viewpoints of the Wikimedia Foundation, "because these pages may be edited and updated by the community". I looked at the edit history, and it has not (yet) been edited by the community, so this page apparently still represents the WMF's viewpoints. If not, it would be helpful if the WMF legal team would please so indicate. I would like a template at Wikimedia Commons ({{Template:PD-US-record}}) to be conformed with current law. The following two sources may be useful in that regard:
- Gordon, Steve and Puri, Anjana. "The Current State of Pre-1972 Sound Recordings: Recent Federal Court Decisions in California and New York against Sirius XM Have Broader Implications than Just Whether Satellite and Internet Radio Stations Must Pay for Pre-1972 Sound Recordings", 4 NYU Journal of Intellectual Property and Entertainment Law (May 4, 2015).
- Jaszi, Peter. "Protection for Pre-1972 Sound Recordings under State Law and Its Impact on Use by Nonprofit Institutions: A 10-State Analysis" (September 2009)

This article is greatly out of date[edit]
This article has fallen greatly out of date with the passage of the Music Modernization Act. In fact, it is so out of date that it is almost useless. Mysterymanblue 04:19, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
