Once you get there you can see a list of PD music with sources to buy books and sheets of songs and tunes. I hope it is useful. |

I recently abandoned recording a Canadian song, going on the 1923 rule but after following your link and doing a little more searching, I discovered that I can actually go ahead with it. I found the following at http://www.socan.ca/pdf/en/Copyright2006Brochure-En.pdf "The time-line Canada's Copyright Act generally grants copyright owners protection and the right to economic payment for the life of the last surviving creator of a work plus 50 years following the end of the calendar year of his or her death. Canadian law applies to all activity in Canada and to works created by Canadian citizens anywhere in the world. By the same token, other countries abide by their own copyright laws, and those laws apply within their borders. Some countries, notably those within the European Union and the U.S., grant copyright protection for "life-plus-70" years. In other words; If the last author has been dead for more than 50 years (Canadian Citizens' Works) then the works become public domain. |
