:We should also note that the recording industry is known to a bunch of litigious ''<insert your own appropriate word here>''. Which is another reason to err on the side of caution. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 15:47, 16 August 2011 (UTC) |

::Believe me, I'm unlikely to forget. I've lived with a paranoia about the RIAA for over a decade. I've removed the program results, and the code itself is incorrect, though it probably qualifies as a derivative work. I wonder if the current LOC exemptions set for the DMCA includes this form of 'educational use.' That said, I don't think they're going to care terribly much. I still want to look into when/if copyright was registered (the song was produced before things were automagically copyrighted without registration). If I can show that the copyright fell out of registration, or that a current LOC exemption would include RC, then I'd be comfortable moving forward with the task. If I get a DMCA notice, I'll take it down and replace it with an explanation of all the facts and a link to [chillingeffects.org chillingeffects.org]. I won't fight something in a way I can't afford to fight it.--[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 16:10, 16 August 2011 (UTC) |

::: Actually, most implementations in code probably constitute fair use. The code is no more a derivative work of the song than a publication that describes the characters in the harry potter novels would be a derivative work of the novels. Any argument that code being asked for here is derivative of the song, for copyright purposes, would probably be an argument that the song is not a creative work. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 17:34, 17 August 2011 (UTC) |
