Very rare, old recorded Audio...

[EstaJae]

I have audio CDs that I recorded myself with audio on them dating back to the 60's. They include some very rare classical performances.
I would like to donate them all to IMSLP however I am concerned about ther copywrite.
Some of them were recorded from the radio and others from television and some were purchased, what is the situation with the copywrite rules?
Esta.

You will have to list the composers -- depending on the death dates, they might be under copyright. You will also have to list the performers -- depending on their death dates, they might be under copyright.

You will have to do this for each piece separately. There won't be one answer that will cover all of them.

For living composers or performers, provided they give permission, they could be uploaded provided everything else is in order. For deceased composers or performers, their estates, or whoever holds the copyright would have to give permission.

In order to be posted, all the people involved have to either fall under public domain, or give permission for their works to be uploaded.

The composers must be PD but in Europe recordings normally become PD after 50 yrs. In the US however the case is different.
