Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

  • Can the public use Aram Khachaturian's music?

    If a group of musicians were to play and record Aram Khachaturian's "Lullaby," would they be allowed to use this music on their own projects, or is there a copyright on them that does not allow them to recreate the music?

    I think in the case of Beethoven and such, you're allowed to take the music and record it on your own. Does anybody know?

    You probably can given it was produced in the now defunct USSR, a communist country that did not recognise copyrights and such, I think.

      I'm bumping this because I really need to know. Is there a way of finding out for sure? I can ask a producer I know, but I'm not sure if he knows how to look into this either. I can't understand what the answer to this is, especially since it was published outside of the US.

        Ask the Russian Embassy to give you relevant contacts ( institutions) in Russia.

        Russian Academy of Arts might another first port of call.
        Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
        Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
        Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

          The USSR did recognise copyright issues, but I think that the copyright on work made by persons who were working within certain state organisations (especially academic or artistic organisations) was held by the state, and was generally freely available for reproduction (since these state organisations were held to be the property of the masses). So it might depend on the circumstances in which that particular bit of music was produced. For example, I've been told that books published by the Armenian Academy of Sciences during the Soviet era can be freely reproduced.

            You could try asking the assorted perverts that congregate here:


            A good propagandist knows how to manipulate Wikipedia to block or remove legitimate content, and a knowledge of copyright law helps. For example, some clever Azeris got images of the Armenian Genocide monument in Yerevan removed from Wikipedia by citing Armenian copyright law. That law states that a view of the interior of a building, or the exterior of a building if the building is the sole object depicted, can only be reproduced with the permission of the architect who designed the building, or his heirs, until up to the usual 70 years after the death of the architect (see here, works for Azerbaijan too! http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/COM:FOP).

              Did Aram Khachaturian compose "Oror (Lullaby)"?

              In addition to this thread, is Komitas' music available to the public? Can I perform and record "Garun a" and use it in a short film?
