Hi Peter. This is a somewhat delayed response, but I've just stumbled upon your [[Puer Natus in Bethlehem (Peter Reid)|Puer Natus]] again and noticed that you've uploaded a non-synthesised MP3 to the CPDL servers. Unfortunately, us admins came to a decision some time ago that we would not allow non-synthesised recordings to be hosted on CPDL because of the potential copyright problems that may arise. Because of this, I'm afraid I've had to delete the file you uploaded. If you're able to upload the file somewhere else and link to that external location from CPDL, we would be happy to let that link stand. I hope you understand our reasons for having to take this strict approach. Kind regards --[[User:Bobnotts|Bobnotts]] <small>[[User talk:Bobnotts|'''talk''']]</small> 21:48, 27 June 2010 (UTC) | Hi Peter.

Hi, thanks for the very polite and informative message Bob. I totally understand your need to cover your backs on the legal side. I will state however that I played the accompaniment and sang the melody myself, and as far as I know, I have the right to put that recording in the public domain. No doubt you're aware that you may throw the baby out with the bath water on occassions such as this, but that hosting non-synthesized mp3s is an unacceptable risk. | |||
Just out of curiosity : | |||
By synthesized recording, do you mean, synthesized by a sequencer/notation program, never touched by human hands? Or would my interpretation played on my synthesised piano be OK? (I feel I can put information into a recording that Sibelius never could) | |||
And secondly, your whois lists your servers as residing in the US. Are you not protected by the DMCA? | |||

MP3 of Puer natus
Hi Peter. This is a somewhat delayed response, but I've just stumbled upon your Puer Natus again and noticed that you've uploaded a non-synthesised MP3 to the CPDL servers. Unfortunately, us admins came to a decision some time ago that we would not allow non-synthesised recordings to be hosted on CPDL because of the potential copyright problems that may arise. Because of this, I'm afraid I've had to delete the file you uploaded. If you're able to upload the file somewhere else and link to that external location from CPDL, we would be happy to let that link stand. I hope you understand our reasons for having to take this strict approach. Kind regards --Bobnotts talk 21:48, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
