<P> As the harmonisation of "Marcha Real" was written by Pérez Casas in the early 20th century, the copyright has not yet expired . The government bought it from Pérez Casas' estate in 1997 for 130 million pesetas (781,315.734 euros) to avoid future legal problems . Until it expires, the copyright belongs to the Ministry of Culture and collecting societies charge copyright fees, which has led to criticism . </P> <P> As a result, many different harmonisations have been devised by performers to avoid paying . Nonetheless, the rights to the 1997 Francisco Grau revision were transferred to the government at no charge, but they were not placed in the public domain . </P> <P> Though the Marcha Real has no lyrics, words have been written and used for it in the past . One version was used during Alfonso XIII's reign and another during the Francoist State; however, none of them were ever made official . The national anthem has been played without words since 1978, when the lyrics that had been approved by General Francisco Franco were abandoned . </P> <P> After witnessing a rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" at Anfield in 2007, the President of the Spanish Olympic Committee (COE), Alejandro Blanco, said he felt inspired to seek lyrics to "La Marcha Real" ahead of Madrid's bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games . That same year Telecinco, enticed by the COE, organized a National contest and posted 25 different lyrics on their website which they thought best matched COE's requirements . The winner was chosen after 40,000 people voted . The lyrics by Enrique Hernández - Luike, magazine publisher and poet, spoke of freedom, peace and the Constitution . The winning lyrics were sang by the Ronda de Aranzueque choir in Pastrana, and filmed by German television . However, the COE organized a new competition for the lyrics, which resulted in between 2,000 and 7,000 entries (depending on source). A private team of jurors chose the entry by Paulino Cubero, then unemployed . The new lyrics received big criticism, resulting in them being pulled only five days later, and the idea was scrapped indefinitely . </P>
