Well, Nixon found out the hard way to be careful about tapes, but he was spying.

Basically, any statements made by politicians are public, so in the public domain. Even the lives of anybody else considered a public figure is newsworthy and subject to re-use and musical commentary. These days companies love to challenge fair use to see what they can get away with, but IMO politicians are about as safe as it gets.

YouTube is a last resort for me. I think that old analog tape or record noise just adds flavor, but I can do without lossy compression artifacts. I guess I'd look for sections of isolated noise, and try using an algorithm to remove that from the whole recording. I used SparkXL and AudioScuplt to do this, but I know there are much better tools now. Maybe SpectraLayers or one of the iZotope suite.

I'd look for online radio news recordings, like from NPR or archive.org.

 

Posting malfunction!

 

I wouldn´t worry about legal issues, since they are usually public announcements.. there´s lot songs/remixes already using political speeches, etc.. never heard anyone get suited for it

 

vocal from politician ?
trump can be your justin beiber with hard plotives

 

Frank Zappa did a track called "Porn Wars" which features a lot of samples of various U.S Senators at a Congress Hearing back in the mid '80s.

There's a YouTube clip of Zappa being interviewed by John Barbour who asks him about the rights of using the Senators voices, which Zappa replies "It's all public record." About the 01:30 mark in the following clip:

 

remember to pan your sample accordingly to the ideas of the politician: Left, Center, Right

 

psychoacustics...recycle

 

sry i come back to thread late ...i had fear before this thread lol..not cause legal issues just cause the topic..thx a lot for reply's and links

 

If Jair Bolsonaro were to win the election in Brazil it might be a bit foolish to sample him in a not so flattering manner.
He has said that those of African descendants basically are sub human and that he could never love his son if he were gay and also said that a policeman who has never killed is a bad cop. People like that are dangerous types with dangerous ideas to freedom and have entourages and followers that are just looking for an excuse to act out.


I guess that it depends on the country and the individual.

 

he will never get any chance to do anything....believe me....media pointing such guys always out....remember schirinowski...remember Jörg Haider who wasnt that bad as the others here i guess..maybe not bad at all.....
not that i like such guys but have you really heard this stuff out of his mouth or did you read it on media...
but in brasil the right wing is strong cause obvious reasons...
i guess it could even be that brasil get right wing government but its equal for the ppl in common...the US owns south america

 

i got 5gb of world war 1 and world war 2 samples from hitler, churchill, ect and i used them in tracks, dont think they have copywrite because they are public speeches as stated, and they are all dead now lol, use them and be creative with them,have fun

 

when you look at that picture you posted....for showing the negative shizl....but in my world this could be also midleft politician who has spine and has attitude....dont go into politix if you dont have spine and begin to cry every second somebody do real talk...
EDIT of course im talkin just bout the picture with out any other information

Easy on bro, you are walking on the knifes edge of der Körper politik and skirting disaster. Exhale.

 

I've done this with Eisenhower's farewell address. Years ago. No issues. Can't imagine there would be any. I'm pretty sure it's public domain because they are words spoken at the behest and for the benefit of the American people.

 

Guys, this thread is about copyrights if using politicians samples, please dont go into political assessments.

 

What about Nasa recordings, public domain too? What about movies dialogues?

 

It depends who owns the original copyright in the mechanical recording of the politician and the stringency of any publisher of your derivative material. If you're talking a real label and a recording made by a mainstream news medium, you're going to need to license. There are many exceptions though.

Consider also an impersonator, they can be cheap if not free and the copyright's all yours.

And let's not forget the immaculate...
