January 4, 200818 yr I want to use the words from Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven for a Choral Composition Competition, and I'm not allowed to use any copyrighted material. Is it copyrighted? Would it be okay to use as long as I put "Words from Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven"? If not then I have to find find something else. If that's the case, any recommendations on Poems that I could use? (Since I suck at making my own words!)
January 4, 200818 yr If you want something original perhaps I could write something for you, just let me know what you have in mind.
January 4, 200818 yr The Raven is long out of copyright, as far as I know. If something is still under copyright, just putting the author's name is not enough. You'll need to put his name on it anyway, even though there isn't (as far as I know) a copyright still on it.
January 4, 200818 yr Author If you want something original perhaps I could write something for you, just let me know what you have in mind. I think I stick with stuff already written. Daniel, thanks, I knew I'd need the name, but I wasn't sure about the copyright issue. Thanks. :)
January 5, 200818 yr Author Nvm, my band teacher gave me a book from the school library with poems in it, I got a poem.
January 5, 200818 yr Written in 1858, it is long out of copyright as long as the edition you use hasn't got any editorial editions to the work.
