04/09/2005 05:56 AMCory Doctorow:
The Internationale is the hymn of the Fourth International Communist
Party. My parents, being good reds, used to sing it every New Year's
Eve at the stroke of midnight, with all the comrades at the socialist
New Year's gathered round the record player to sing along with the
soundtrack from
Reds. It is quite a stirring anthem, and has
been translated into dozens of languages, and is sung the world
'round.
Weirdly, this 19th century song is still in copyright in France, and
a French filmmaker has just been fined about $1300 for letting a
character in one of his films whistle the tune (you can hear
a very modern synth-pop take on the tune courtesy of Maxx Klaxon here).
The irony factor here is much deeper than, say, the irony surrounded
JibJab's
appropriation of Woody Guthrie's This Land. Guthrie was a
socialist, sure, but the Internationale is a call to arms to abolish
private property, eliminate international borders, and throw off your
chains and rise up to smash the state. Hard to imagine that the
long-dead creator of that song is having his wishes honored by French
collecting societies shaking down people who make use of it for cash.
The 19th-century revolutionary hymn was written by Eugene Pottier in
1871 and set to music by another Frenchman, Pierre Degeyter, in
1888...
Under French law, "The Internationale" won't fall into the public
domain until 2014 — 70 years of post-mortem protection plus extra
time to cover the world war. Degeyter died in 1932....
[The film] hardly paid its own way, opening briefly in a single Paris
theater and selling just 203 tickets, Le Monde reported.

Source of all we hope or dread,
Sheepdog, jackal, rattler, swan,
We hunt your face and long to trust
That your hid mouth will say again
Let there be light, a clear new day.
But when we thirst in this dry night,
We drink from hot wells
Poisoned with the blood of children.
And when we strain to hear a steady homing beam,
Our ears are balked by stifled moans
And howls of desolation
From the throats of sisters, brothers, wild men,
Clawing at the gates for bread.
Even our own feeble hands
Aim to seize the crown you wear
And work our private havoc
Through the known and unknown lands of space.
Absolute in flame beyond us,
Seed and source of Dark and Day,
Maker whom we beg to be
Our mother, father, comrade, mate.
Till our few atoms blow to dust
Or form again in wiser lives
Or find your face and hear our name
In your calm voice, the end of night.
If dark may end,
Wellspring gold of Dark and Day,
Be Here,
Be Now.
