Nope. Wellerman does not have a copyright. It is public domain.
@goldsmen said in Wellerman, when?:
@tesiccl Copywrite isnt actually too much of an issue with the song, all you need to do is give credit to the song owner and you are in the clear with this one.
That's not how copyright works. You can't just legally say, "credit to" and then proceed to use someone else's work.
You usually must be granted a specific license or permission to cover a song.
That being said; someone above said Wellerman is public domain, in which case no permission or credit is necessary. Once something enters the public domain, it can be used by all.
@wolfmanbush said in Wellerman, when?:
If they ever add a music box to ships they should have a competition for singers from the community to sing covers of a few popular shanties and add them to the music box for in game tunes
Good idea, but huge legal mess.

Not really, people have contracts and do deals all the time.
This isn't a music career situation or signing a mega-name to the product. Could there be a problem? sure, there could also be a problem with a partner that is associated with the brand. There are always risks in everything.
Might not be financially worth it to them but they are always pushing the social stuff, this would be something with substance to it.
Could always do original writing as well

Depends on who owns the rights and what they can legally do with them.

Thats not how it works as a whole, but as for wellerman in specific, its royalty free music, the only stipulation to it is you must give credit to the owner of the song. It falls under creative commons, which basically grants freedom to use it under some fairly simple grounds, such as just giving credit.

Wait wait, is it Creative Commons or is it Public Domain?
Which is it?

as far as i understood it, creative commons falls under public domain since everyone has free access to it. Its possible i misunderstand that part.

I could be wrong.
It is my understanding the at the public domain has no strings on it, like source or credit being issued to use something. It is just there and you can just use it.
It is my understanding that a Creative Commons license, depends on the terms of the license but anyone can use it, that follows the rules.
This is why I am not a lawyer.

That actually does answer quite a bit, so public domain falls under creative commons, not the other way around, thank you!
