world war two radio vox channel

[Tyrannis]

sometimes on long bomber missions, i'll go to youtube, and listen to some classic world war 2 songs, (helps set the atmosphere).

how about a vox channel that we can tune to that plays world war two classics? would be great to set the atmosphere of the time.


some artist examples:

vera lynn
andrew sisters.
and others.

vox-german
vox-other
and a vox-mixed.

Might be easier to just get yourself some CDs and play it in the background?

Would be awesome

I wonder if and when the copyrights are expired and the works fall into the public domain. Otherwise HTC would have the RIAA hounding them as if HTC was the single reason for the major label's failures.

Mow some lawns in the summer, get some money for a CD player or get fancy with an iPod tower. Lemonade stand, whatever you people do these days.

I honestly think that once the novelty died down, it would be a useless option.

music copyright expires 50yrs after it was published or recorded, so anything on the radio during WWII is free to use now.


some time back skuz removed an image I posted for copyright violation. it was by Titian - the copyright expired 400ish years ago

I'm not saying that this is a bad idea, but why not just listen to music with some other program while your playing AH? That way you'll be able to chose only the songs that you like.

Some how with you being a kid of the internet age I would find it hard to believe you have not down loaded music off the web. Also I don't think Gracie Fields will come hunting for you unlike a member of Metalica would if you did.

Not quite true.

The U.S. Copyright Act of 1976 extended copyright to 75 years.  The Copyright Term extension act of 1996, added 20 more years.  Any music copyrighted in 1940 will still be protected until 2035.

As far as protecting our service from those who would violate copyright or any other exclusive display contracts, we will err to caution.

hmmm that rings a bell now - didnt Paul McCartney have something to do with that? makes sense I suppose, the copyright shouldnt expire before the artist's death.

There are internet radio stations that play 40's era music. Also, if you have your VOX channel tuned to music, how are you going to communicate via voice if need be?
