a classic war tune's vox.

Just minimise aces high open up youtube or an mp3 and let the tunes play in the background  ya big dummy

p.s, i knew of the fees, but i thought that after a certain time had passed(or the artist of said song had been dead for awhile) the song would become free to play without having to pay fees for, my apologies for not knowing this, but does it make me a brindless dult for not knowing this? no. it just means i dont know everything there is to know about in the world.

You are correct.  I spent over 20 years in the music business.  They are called royalties, are collected by ASCAP or BMI (whichever the artist subscribed to), are payable to the artist and then the artist's family or estate for 99 1/2 years after the artist's passing after which point they enter the public domain.  Royalties would still be owed on songs from WWII.

i know we can allways go to youtube/another place to get this music, but that involves having to put the game down to do so, and if some peoples computers are like mine, after i do that for so many times my game disconnects.

As for music copyrights:


Music copyright laws in the United States grant composers and lyricists exclusive rights to their creations for a limited time. This limited time is defined as such:

* For musical compositions that were created after January 1, 1978, the copyright will be in effect for the duration of the life of the longest surviving composer/copyright owner of the work plus another 70 years.

* The copyright of musical compositions registered before January 1, 1978 will be in effect for 95 years from the date it was registered.

* The copyright of musical compositions registered before January 1, 1923 will be in effect for 75 years.
Public Domain
Any songs that are not under copyright are said to be in the public domain. Restrictions of reproduction, publication, public performance or rearrangement no longer apply to these works. A song's copyright can expire--like those that were made before the year 1923--or the composer or lyricist can renounce his exclusive rights either during his lifetime or after his death. To determine with certainty that a song is in the public domain, it is necessary to check the copyright date (which, in sheet music, for example, is commonly located on the first page or title page).

Basically alot of the music listened to in the 40's (including classical and 20's and 30's music) could most likely be public domain by now and free to use

it will get as much use as the ww1 arena. I would rather have them offer netflix I  bet more people would use it during long flights.

Sorry, but that means the only American music that is public domain is from before 1923, the next soonest public domain release based on your post would be in 2018.

Record companies, however, do not die.

[BaldEagl]

Record companies, however, do not die.

Record companies only own the rights to the recordings, not public performance of the songs.

Record companies get no royalties for a radio station playing a song for instance but they do benefit from higher sales of the CD.  The artist on the other hand collects a percentage of the CD sales plus a royalty on the broadcast of the song.

Song writers collect no matter where or when a song they've written is performed.  Performers only get royalties when their peformances are publicly performed.  In either case the record company gets nothing.  All three benefit when a CD is sold.

Record companies still have strong incentive to get radio stations to play thier music as Billbaord chart position is driven by a combination of CD sales and radio airplay and sales largely rely on radio airplay.

everytime somebody sings happy birthday on tv or the movies they have to pay royalties.  even when you sing at a private party you're supposed to send a royalty payment.  and that song is from the what mid 1800's copyrighted in 1934, and the copyright will last until at least 2030?  and oh yeah the few bucks here and there brings in 2 million bucks a year.

you want to listen to music do what the rest of us do.  go to youtube or simply just play them on your computer.  there's probably more people who play in the ww1 arena than people who will listen to the 1940's music while flying.  and listening or not HT still has to pay to play the music.

Uh.  I don't understand what any of this has to do with what I typed.  Usually if I want to listen to music I throw a CD in the CD player.  I've only got a little over 2000 of them.
