@deetoo 7/7.  How bout you?

@unk-p -- July 15th.

@deetoo If you alter a photo, it's considered new art and does not violate a copyright.  Commercial use of a person's image usually requires a license.

@suspira44, thank you for that info re copyright.  Does that also hold true for altered songs?  I'm thinking of some of those funny youtube posts where words are substituted in well-known tunes.  In that case would copyright infringement only apply if they financially profited from it?

@deetoo Well, I'm not the last word but I would guess it isn't copyright infringement. Now, if they try to publish it a a new song, I imagine there's a problem.

I'm pretty sure parody is allowed under copyright, or at least that's what a librarian friend told me when I asked how Randy Rainbow could be posting his brilliant songs.

@2ndfdl, God bless Randy Rainbow.  He's kept me sane these past 3-1/2 years.

@2ndfdl that's correct, parody is permitted. Remember that guy who used to make up lyrics to famous songs, like Beat It was Eat It. My favorite was I Got it on Ebay - can't remember the song, though. All famous ones. Hilarious.

@suspira44 Yes! That was Weird Al Yankovic! 

Nothing beats Weird All;-)
