Good point. It's at least not the original Beatles version with lyrics, but rather a cover version. Google does not recognize it.

Can't we assume that a copyright check has been made before it was released within the old Worlds of Squeak?

Otherwise, hypothetically I could replace it with a license-free song without the same melancholic touch ...

What about the copyright here? Is it the Beatles song?

I love the idea of having more examples like this, although the data size is rather large.

Maybe someone can suggest a good strategy for handling this? We don't want to start adding 7MB sound files to the image, and we know from long experience that web links tend to go stale in embarassing ways.

I Squeakland Etoys, projects are stored externally and served from a reliable well-known site. Maybe something similar could work for multimedia referenced from the image. We certainly have plenty of spare capacity on the squeak.org at the moment, just as long as somebody doesn't come along and make us start paying for it.

I don't know the answer but it would be nice to have a working solution that didn't go stale every time the intenet gets updated ;-)

Hi all, I'd like to finally get this done.

I propose to use the following cover version instead, which is flagged with a CC-BY license on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcQqXLwHeXw

If there any objections, please let me know soon, otherwise I will upload this version.

Best,

Christoph

Hi Dave, Hi Eric,

thanks for the pointers. First, I don't know whether we want to have every image automatically download a file when you open Objectland, and because it should be easily explorable, I would not like to make an extra button "Click here to download a sound file" for it. If we decide we can make automatical downloads, Eric, can we upload any CC-free audio file to Wikimedia Commons and be sure it will never be deleted, or do we use any song that is already there?

This takes about 3 seconds for a 30 seconds wave file on my machine:

SampledSound fromWaveStream: (HTTPSocket httpGet: 'http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4e/Bach_Brandenburg_4_coda_t...')

http://www.hpi.de/

Opening Objectland should not be terribly slow ... Hm, maybe we should just use the existing bachFugue sound, but I wanted to demonstrate Squeak's capability of playing wave files beside midi files, too ...

How about some audio from the Wikimedia Commons? It's unlikely the URLs would go stale for those. -- Eric
