Talk:Amar Shonar Bangla

Lyrics

I removed the lyrics, because of copyright concerns. Under the life + 70 rule, which I believe we have to assume unless shown an exception, this work would be copyrighted until 2011. The translation could be copyrighted even longer, depending on if/when the translator died. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 06:48, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Nevermind about the lyrics, Wikisource:My Golden Bengal explains that the original lyrics are out of copyright. I'm still concerned about the translation, though. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 06:52, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

The translator was Syed Ali Ahsan. Exert 06:55, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

I believe this means that the translation would still be copyrighted - according to the tag at wikisource, India's copyright rules are death + 60 and his article says he died in 2002. I've left a note wikisource:User talk:Yann, who posted the copyright tags there for the work, in hopes that he could comment on this. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 07:06, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
