• Recordings that were first published prior to 1926 are in the public domain.
• Recordings that were first published between 1926 and 1946 are copyrighted for a period of 100 years after first publication.

Note that sound recordings that were first fixed prior to February 15, 1972 are a special case under US copyright law and are not subject to the same formalities as other works. In particular, the terms of protection given above for pre-1972 recordings apply regardless of whether a recording was published with a copyright notice, or whether a recording was registered with the US Copyright Office, or whether a recording's rights were renewed. Files bearing this tag may be deleted in the future, depending on the outcome of community discussions and new case law. If you are the rights holder of this sound recording and do not wish to have it hosted on Commons, please contact our designated agent.

According to Chapter IV, Section 6, Article 101 of the Japanese Copyright Act: "The duration of neighboring rights shall expire at the end of a period of seventy years from the year following the date... when the publishing was made or when the first fixation of sounds was made if the publishing has not been made within a period of seventy years following the first fixation of sounds." This was increased non-retroactively from 50 years on December 30, 2018; from 30 years on May 2, 1989; and from 20 years on November 1, 1988.
