Template:PD-traditional

Public domain This file is in the public domain, because it is a recording based on a folkloric or traditional musical composition which has fallen out of copyright and any recording rights to this version have expired. In Germany, this recording right is called "Leistungsschutz" and lasts for 50 years from the date the work was created. For recordings from Italy, see Template:PD-Italy-audio. Other countries may have differing legislation.

In the United States the term of protection for sound recordings published before January 1, 1924 has expired (See Template:PD-US-record). Works of foreign (non-U.S.) origin must be out of copyright or freely licensed in both their home country and in the United States in order to be accepted on Commons.
