Now madame, calm down. A corporation may be having its rights abused, please try and see it from their perspective.

As mad as it sounds Sony may be well in their right to do so. Sony may own the specific musical arrangement that was played.

Let's not forget (nor forgive) that Sony also used to put rootkits on their CDs.

Something else interesting is the fact that last I checked, there were only 192 recognized countries, not 248, as Sony believes.

Does that have anything to do with Sony at all? It is facebook bots that made a decision.

Isn't this an automated message from Facebook... Do they have contact with some countries, the rest of us are not allowed to hear about?

Might it be that Facebook recognizes all countries, not just the ones the UN deems Sovereign?

1 Is it the original version of the piece or an arrangement? If it's an arrangement, the current publisher has copyright no matter how

Doesn't matter. Anything written or composed before the 20s can't be copyrighted. Only a specific recording but not the piece itself.

1 If it's an arrangement that arrangement can be copyrighted. They can't stop people if they're playing from the original, but for example

2 if you bought my specific arrangement of that piece, that arrangement is my work and I have copyright. There's tons of arrangements of

140 characters didn't allow me to say that they weren't all countries; many are overseas dependencies. They still have their own domains.

something like 30 days and then restore the video, whereupon it can, if Sony or any company so chooses, immediately be muted again.
