On a
similar subject. What is the Wikipedia policy on using
music/mp3 clips ?
We don't have that worked out yet. I've been using
10-20
second clips at 64k bitrate, which should easily fall under
"fair use" doctrine and are reasonable downloads (see, for
example, "Simon and Garfunkel"). No one's complained yet,
and I doubt they will.
Does it apply to other countries (fair use) ?
Is it legally acceptable to apply the same doctrine to, for instance,
music works of Polish artists ?
Most countries, at least in Europe and North America have
adopted the Berne Convention rules of 1948 (Brussels) and
1971 (Paris). The USA since 1989-03-01. Most European
countries earlier.
I have a lot of links on:
