I say again, copyrighted or can we use them?

National Anthems can be used anywhere, as they are symbol of ones national heritage, when putting a national anthem into something, whether recorded by the Band of the Royal Marines or Fred Bloggs down the road. It wont make any difference, an anthem is an anthem and that is it.

Copyright works on a basis of 70 years, e.g. The Copyright on a piece of music or book or whatever, lasts for 70 years after the composers/authors/creators death. As the person who composed God Save the Queen has been dead over 70 years there is no problem, same with the Englishman who composed the US Anthem, etc..... most of the worlds national anthems have been around 100 years or more.

Plus the national anthems are that well and widely known and played so often, I dont think anyone will complain, because how can the Russian State symphony orchestra proved that they recorded the anthem, when it is all the same key, same parts, same time signature, same speed, same of music. Which has been recorded 100's of time over.

For the British, how many times do you hear 'god save the queen' in a year doesnt matter where you hear. I watch all British Sporting events, they all play 'god save the queen', then there is Trooping the Colour, Beating the retreat, Proms, Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance. Plus EA have used them for their FIFA Games.

Put them in, there is no penalty for being patriotic.

Roger Army Musician. It's just that sometimes people can be anal about using their stuff. I think these would be a great addition

Yes played by the Band of the Royal Welsh, Sung by Katherine Jenkins at the 6 nations in Cardiff.

The Welsh anthem is a nice anthem, though, I prefer Men of Harlech. Yes it is the song sung by the British in the film Zulu

i think my favorites are the russian and polish anthems.

Army Musician · 07-24-2007, 11:39 AM

The polish and russian anthems are good, though I still like the British Best, because I am British.

Just a quick update.
The Israeli Anthem has been added to the list

Mods/devs.

Please sticky this:
1. So it is easy for me to find, so I can edit it for new 'community' factions.
2. So the devs of the community factions or yourselves dont have to look far for the Anthems?

Thanks
