There was some talk about this a few weeks ago, somthing about the 
articel of Simon and Garfunkel (there is also audio there).
The English Wikipedia calls it "fair use"  and allow it. The Dutch 
Wikipedia calls it a copyright violation and does not allow it.  Do not 
know of the others. -- giskart
