Hi all! I'm sure many here bypass the Front Page, so... Here is something to read if you have, or are thinking of adding copyrighted lyrics below an image in the gallery. Please note what is accepted here at Renderosity (quote from JenyK, as included in the article): "Renderosity allows for a maximum of two paragraphs (2 verses; or a verse and a chorus; or a bridge & chorus; or a verse and a bridge), and we expect the copyright holders (usually the recording artist or performers) to be acknowledged." Thanks, and hope the article helps make it clearer :D NickNick C. Sorbin

Good article, Nick - read it last week. I do have a question, though: Is it ok to name an image after the title of a song or an album? I've done this once or 2wice - ie: "Point of Know Return" and "Season of the Witch". The images were inspired by the songs and I think the title of a work is VERY important to set the tone of an image in the mind's eye as well as the ones on the front of your face. :?) It helps convey the message you are trying to convey with an image. But that's off topic...better git b4 I start rambling...AGAIN! lol c-ya! Rick

Hi Rick, thanks! From the US Copyright Office FAQ : "Copyright does not protect names, titles, slogans, or short phrases. In some cases, these things may be protected as trademarks." Besides...you may notice many duplicated titles in popular music. The title 'Hold On' comes to mind, and right off the top of my head, it was used by Steve Winwood, Sarah McLachlan, and Yes. And, btw...loved the tune 'Season of the Witch' (and your image)...man, I wonder where Donovan is now? Anyway, hope that helps :D Nick

Hey! That's good to know, Viv. I'd expected he'd ended up another of the many casualties of spending too much time partying with John Lennon and the other Beatles, like Nilsson... Rick
