The national anthem of the People's Republic of China, March of the Volunteers, performed by the United States Navy Band.

Commemt I am unsure about the compositions copyright. What info do you have on it? Zginder 2009-03-11T15:56Z (UTC)
- Since it was performed by the United States Navy Band, I guess the copyright holder is the navy, though I could be wrong.—Chris! _ct 18:41, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - I am not talking about the performance copyright; I am talking about the copyright on the song, by the Chinese. Zginder 2009-03-11T22:03Z (UTC)
    - Then I don't know. I am no knowledge on these copyright issue. It would be great if someone can answer that.—Chris! _ct 03:22, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - The music is definitely out of copyright (composer died 1935, (Copyright term life + 50). The lyrics aren't, but, well, I don't hear any lyrics, so, no problem there. Copyright checked. It might be nice if the source site had more details of the performance date, etc, though. Have you considered contacting the tape band library found at the "source" link?

        No, I haven't.—Chris! _ct 23:14, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        What about U.S. copyright? Z gin der 2009-03-22T00:41Z (UTC)
        Well, how can the U.S. hold copyright for Chinese music?—Chris! _ct 00:44, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        I am talking about the copyright by the Chinese in the U.S., Wikipedia has to follow U.S copyright. Z gin der 2009-03-22T17:27Z (UTC)
        Um, the Uruguay roundtable agreements only granted an American copyright to works that were in copyright after 1996. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 12:29, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This has been here for almost a month. Just wondering how long a nomination will be kept on this page before archiving.—Chris! _ct 02:59, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support It should be clean now. Z gin der 2009-04-13T03:13Z (UTC)
Support: As for copyright in the U.S., the performance is a work of the U.S. military, so it is public domain. As for any copyright that the Chinese may or may not have held in the U.S., they would be well expired now due to age. Illegitimate Barrister 08:21, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
