Talk:Annette Hanshaw

Untitled
It would be interesting to know more about the copyright status of her works. Her music was used by Nina Paley in Paley's film, "Sita Sings the Blues", and Roger Ebert in a review describes music licensing issues that persist today: http://www.rogerebert.com/rogers-journal/having-a-wonderful-time-wish-you-could-hear — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.209.225.22 (talk) 14:47, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Unless Congress amends the law, with few exceptions (such as recordings produced by Thomas Edison), all recordings made in the United States before 1972 are copyrighted until the year 2067. -- kosboot (talk) 16:39, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

As described by Paley the recordings of Henshaw used in 'Sita' are not copyrighted, but the compositions are controlled by large media corporations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:ED:272D:E096:B1A4:548A:A145:C41 (talk) 12:06, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks to the Music Modernization Act, all of Hanshaw's recordings will eventually go into the public domain (95 complete years after their initial release). - kosboot (talk) 15:07, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
