Strangely enough, thats what i got the copyright strike for
Apparently Decca/UMG own the rights to that Churchill speach. How can a politicians speach be subject to copyright? I'm a bit confused to say the least.

It was a recording he made in 1949

that's now over 70 years old and out of copyright
he should tell Decca to go fuck themselves
(though youtube tend to take the side of the recording companies and I've heard it's a bit of process convincing them otherwise even if you're in the right)

I guess it counts as a written, dramatic, musical or artistic 'work', meaning copyright expires 70 years after the author's death, which would be on January 24, 2035.
But Churchill also made a number of recordings of his war speeches for commercial purposes. Discogs says Decca's Churchill album was published in 1964, so their copyright claim on their recordings will expire in 2034.

this is true, but for sound recordings it's 70 years from the year it was made under the '88 UK copyright act, extended from 50 years
To be honest, I'm not totally sure which category it falls under, whether its treated as a sound recording of an existing copyrighted speech or as a new artwork, and parliamentary speeches themselves might fall under crown copyright if it's done as part of one's parliamentary duties, or be party or privately owned. it's all a bit murky for me. But if it's Decca rather than Churchill's estate complaining it's probably about the recording.
Subject to subsections (4) and (5) [F40and section 191HA(4)], copyright expires—
(a)at the end of the period of 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which the recording is made, or
(b)if during that period the recording is published, [F41]70 years from the end of the calendar year in which it is first published

Thanks for this
thats cleared things up a bit. I assumed wrongly the original to parliament. I didnt know Decca paid Winnie to re record his speeches sometime after ww2. Guess they got me bang to rights. oh well, slap the cuffs on. Lesson learnt.
