Update links to Copyright Office search

In the section about public domain material, the link to the online search at the Copyright Office is broken. This an up-to-date link, and this one to the currently proof-of-concept Virtual Card Catalog should probably be added since it allows searching for pre-1978 copyright information. -- Veikk0.ma (talk) 05:37, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Reference to 1923 in the section "Material in the public domain"

--Gazebo (talk) 06:18, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

In the section "Material in the public domain", there is the following sentence:

In the U.S. this date is January 1, 1923.

This should probably be changed to use {{Not-PD-US-expired-min-year}} for the year instead of 1923. --Gazebo (talk) 06:22, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

@Gazebo: Thanks for the note, I changed it. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 12:03, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

Youtube video (CC-BY-SA) for extracting part of it's audio

I was looking for a piece of audio of a national anthem. I found one with a CC-BY-SA license, it's in a video on Youtube. Am I allowed to use it on Commons and if so, how can I best go about doing this? --oSeveno (User talk) 10:08, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, wrong place to ask, moved it. --oSeveno (User talk) 10:10, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
