Concerning copyrights of the audiofiles: |
Note: There are considerable changes to the site under way. One of these is reducing the dependency on copyrighted files and increasing transparency, where files originate and under what terms they are used etc. However because I am one person running the whole thing, it will take a little while. Be patient.
I am not a lawyer. When a particular site such as archive.org claims something is “in the public domain” or “free to the public”, I have to take their word for it. If you have a complaint, contact the sites where the files originate. I will provide any information on the origins of any file, should you need it. The audio used in our stream will , as far as we are able to verify, conform to one or two points: 1 a. It’s public domain in the United States 2. We have asked for permission from the copyright holders. In cases where we have not asked for permission, we will, as far as possible, try to meet both 1a. and 1b. In some cases, the issue will be very complex, and we have done our best to verify the rights. But nobody is perfect. We will remove files that are in dispute without question. In some instances (2), I have asked for special permission from the copyright holders. This material is NOT in the public domain. I will not dispute copyright claims, and will remove the files in question at the earliest opportunity. But you must contact me by email (historyradioorg(at)gmail.com) to let me know of any claim you might have. And remember, at least, that this is a non-profit site. No profits have been generated. Nor are there any downloads of audio. |
