Copyright
Hi. Could you please provide a clear, authoritative source for the claim that the works by William Luther Pierce are no longer copyrighted? They're certainly too recent for us to assume they're not. The copies at the Internet Archive appear to have been uploaded by a third party, and I have already written to them to ask them to remove the copies (though I have yet to hear back). wctaiwan (talk) 22:00, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
 * The Hunter by William Pierce (deceased) is no longer in copyright and it's public domain. You can see clearly at https://archive.org/details/TheHunterByAndrewMacdonaldWilliamLutherPierce it was added to the Internet Archive in 2010 and has more than 5,500 downloads. The Turner Diaries by William Pierce (deceased) is no longer in copyright and it's public domain. You can see clearly at https://archive.org/details/TheTurnerDiariesByAndrewMacdonald it was added to the Internet Archive in 2010 and has more than 12,800 downloads.Pussypimples (talk) 08:47, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
 * That it's available on the Internet Archive doesn't mean it's out of copyright. As I mentioned, they seem to have been uploaded by a third party (and in the case of The Turner Diaries, contains advertisements for the uploader's site). I'm going to remove the links again. wctaiwan (talk) 18:06, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
 * The books listed by National Vanguard (the main site of the National Alliance) on The Internet Archive clearly state they are not in copyright and public domain. The books have been listed there since 2010, and have had thousands of downloads. The National Alliance has not ever complained about the books being there, because they were the ones who posted them there. Do you see the text Brought to you by National Vanguard? Why are you so eager to have these books removed that are no longer in copyright?Pussypimples (talk) 23:22, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

(random looker-in) er. "no longer in copyright" on what basis? Unless Pierce has explicitly revoked his copyright, they're still copyrighted, and the law doesn't give a jot about what people other than Pierce say on the subject. Ironholds (talk)
 * The copyright of these books are the property of National Alliance, not William Pierce who is deceased. The National Alliance owns the copyright for these books and have explicitly made them public domain eight years after his death.Pussypimples (talk) 00:27, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * The reason I did not see the text "brought to you by National Vanguard" is because it was added in the past few days, possibly as a result of this dispute. I thought I was misremembering, but it wasn't there a few months ago. In addition, "SolarGeneral.com" redirected to a different website as recently as December 18. I think this puts the claim that the publisher was the uploader into serious question. (And even if it were true, the issue of ownership Ironholds mentioned above still stands.) I admit I'm in part motivated by my desire not to see hate speech linked directly from Wikipedia, but even if we were to disregard the nature of the content, Wikipedia tends to be conservative on how we handle copyright, and this just isn't good enough. wctaiwan (talk) 00:34, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay; fine. Prove the copyright transfer, and prove the NA release of it. Done. Ironholds (talk) 00:38, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your candor and can understand the heartfelt desire to not see hate speech linked directly from Wikipedia, but this is not a valid reason to have relevant links removed. There are likely hundreds of articles about contentious topics on Wikipedia that link to controversial subject works. Before this dispute ever started, the items in question clearly state they are no longer in copyright and public domain, brought to you by National Vanguard. The so-called advertising site http://www.SolarGeneral.com does in fact link to the National Alliance main web site. These books are explicitly not in copyright and public domain, had they not been, National Alliance would have likely sought to have these "popular" removed because of loss of revenue. The onus of proof these books are not in copyright are on you and you have failed to prove so. The books in question have been on the Internet Archive almost 5 years and link back to the organization that once owned the copyright for them as you can see at the footer of the description. We should seek arbitration over this issue before they are removed, otherwise this looks more like POV warrior pushing.Pussypimples (talk) 00:48, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, no: the onus is on the person who is seeking to link to content that, unless explicitly released, is copyrighted, to show that such an explicit release has taken place. I don't think arbitration means what you think it means on Wikipedia, but I'm happy to take this to the copyright noticeboard if you'd like. Ironholds (talk) 01:02, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * You have not proven that the items are still in copyright, even though these items explicitly state they are no longer in copyright. I hope I posted the issue in the right place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:External_links/Noticeboard if not please let me know where to take this issue. We need to have this arbitrated.Pussypimples (talk) 01:06, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Again, the onus is on you to prove it. The fact that someone who claims to be an NA representative threw it up at the IA does not mean that the NA released the copyright, or had it in the first place. Anyway, I'll move the discussion there. Ironholds (talk) 01:10, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Can you please provide me with links to Wikipedia information or documentation concerning external links to public domain verses copyrighted works that states editors must determine the status of copyright on items.Pussypimples (talk) 01:27, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
