But seriously, I bet even if HQ asked permission, at this point they'd get a big fat "NO." 
Probably. i am just curious as to whether or not HQ ever asked permission. But (and I'm no legal expert) isn't that what "fair use" kind of means? That you can use something (an image) without explicit permission if it falls under "fair use"? | |

I also noticted that PrinceFams.com has tons of pics of Prince, but really doesn't get messed with by the Web Sheriff as far as I know, cuz I haven't been there in a while. HQ always gets attacked. I think it has everything to do with the fact that HQ basically thumbed their noses at P over and over again a couple years back when they refused to take down the "Homecoming" boot performance when his people sent them the cease and desist letters. If I recall HQ's position was that because they were in the Netherlands (or where ever they are) and the boot was being sold in stores there that it was not in fact a boot but a legitimate release. P challanged them and the stores in the Netherlands and the courts sided with Prince. wait, hq seriously went to court over all this stuff?  Space for sale... | |

(And this was before they had the streaming video thingy going on because I downloaded the performance from their site and saved it to my computer.) . [Edited 9/17/07 11:08am] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Even if Prince did, he would not stand a chance.Why do you think they have not started any legal proceedings against HQ in the Netherlands ? Simply because any sane Dutch judge would dismiss their silly complaints in a whiff ! Housequake has not broken any (Dutch) laws and should not have to comply with these demands. This is plain intimidation on the part of Prince's legal team ! When is Prince ever going to learn that you cannot treat your fans this way without having any repercussions ? Look at the Uptown chapter : the court case Prince started against Uptown was settled in favor of Uptown. It was a silly case to begin with and the outcome of this trial simply made Prince lose face. I support HQ 100%. I value our democratic system and when people abide the law they should not be afraid to express themselves freely. Prince is supposed to be a citizen of "the land of the free" - why not treat his fans with the same respect for free speech and expression ? [Edited 10/1/07 6:46am] | |

album cover art and promotional items that have been put into the public domain then become fair use for information purposes only. i.e. i can post an album cover art of prince's cd's on the market just to inform people of the existence and content of the discography, and i can show a promotional poster that was used to promote said album under fair use
i cannot, however, use album cover art as my own in selling copyright materials. i.e., i cannot use the album cover of musicology to sell a boot of a musicology concert dvd. that is not fair use and does become copyright violation both to the covert art and the dvd. | |
