@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;-)
