Hitler has not been dead 70 years, so unless this is PD for some other reason this must go. -Nard the Bard 03:17, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Comment Hitler's heir has said that he has no interest in claiming royalties from Mein Kampf (and we can infer from his words that this applies to anything else once copyrighted by Hitler):
- "Yes I know the whole story about Hitler's inheritance," Peter Raubal told Bild am Sonntag in what the paper said were his first public comments on the issue. "But I don't want to have anything to do with it. I will not do anything about it. I only want to be left alone."
- If the only known heir publically disclaims any interest in being the copyright holder, where does that leave this? If a tree falls alone in the woods, does it make a sound? If there's technically a copyright and nobody to hold it, is that as good as being PD? I'm not saying "keep" here (this line of argumentation looks too much like "we can get away with it", which is something I have loudly rejected in the past, and will continue to do so). But the closing administrator might want to bear that in mind. Lewis Collard! (lol, internet) 11:22, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- Further to the above, it's also worth noting that the "reprint" of the Reuters article linked above is hosted on a site affiliated with the known Jew-hater and holocaust denier David Irving. I can't find it anywhere else on the Web. Make of that what you will. Lewis Collard! (lol, internet) 12:14, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- As far as I know, the rights to "Mein Kampf" are held by the Federal State of Bavaria, not by any heirs. I do not know whether the same applies to the recordings. --Johannes Rohr (talk) 15:07, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
