I think the question Shrini is asking is different. A public talk (not a musical or other
such performance) is still copyrighted if the uploader has uploaded it as a copyrighted
work. In general, the tak is always owned by the original author i.e. the speaker but the
uploader only owns the particular recording in question. It might be a partial or full
recording and might have background music added to the original talk. Contacting the
uploader and requesting them would be an option but is a long shot. I’m only making a
human judgement here as I’m not a lawyer myself. Those who are in this list can give a
more accurate advice. :)

Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] [OT] Regarding license of a public talk
I have few queries on license of a recording of a public talk.
In YouTube, there are many videos of tamil public talks available. They are on
literature, history, politics and more.
Though the uploaded did not choose the license, who owns the copyright?
The speaker
The Video recorder
The event organizer
The venue owner
The public
I want to make podcasts using those talks. I attend few events and record the same talk
myself as audio.
Now there is no difference between my recording and the one on YouTube.
Now is it OK to upload my audio files to
archive.org in a CC license?
If the license of a public event is any one of public license, shall I rip the audio from
YouTube talks of public events, and release in a CC license?
Share your thoughts.
Thanks.
