I didn't copy and text them. I KNOW THOSE LYRICS FROM MY HEAD. I only posted an external link to prove it. So who's copyright am I violating? My memory?19th Century Firearms (talk) 17:52, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't matter whether you copied them or remembered them, to write them on Wikipedia is against the law. Please don't do so again. DJ Clayworth (talk) 17:59, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

And what law is that? The wikipedia police is gonna come arrest me? And why does this article still have lyrics to it them? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalinka_(song) 19th Century Firearms (talk) 18:47, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Please don't become angry of things you don't understand. Did you read the articles I suggested? I guess not. Otherwise you would have known that Kalinka text is OK(-ish) because the copyright for Kalinka expired. - Altenmann >t

I had a feeling I was gonna get an answer like that on Kalinka. Russian copywright typically expires 70 years after the death of the author correct? So if Mikhail Isakovsky died in 1973 that means I won't be able to add the lyrics to this song until 2043 correct? 19th Century Firearms (talk) 16:54, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
