- Summary: Midnight on June 30 1960 - the Congo become the Independent Congolese Republic.

Copyright laws covering the composition, arrangement and/or performance of music differ from country to country, and even from state to state within some countries. These range from limiting the law to specific circumstances - e.g. 'performances given by professionals to a paying audience' - to total coverage that encompasses everything from a professional performance to the most amateur rendition - e.g. 'spectators at sports events.' If in doubt we recommend that either the section containing 'Music' is deleted or that the sound level is turned down and covered with commentary.
