I think it's high time i make a note on that. We know that some around here like to make graphics out of pictures of the band or other things. By looking around on the net, i saw a thing really important i forgot to point at.
The image of a group and pictures and all, are "ruled" by copyright laws and other stuff of that kind.
Because of that, i ask you to:
- If you know the author of the pic (photographer and stuff) CREDIT. If not, please make a line in the begining of the thread saying that the rights goes to whoever took the pic and the global image right goes to Placebo and management stuff and all. It's just a measure of security. I don't want problems because of laws and stuff. Of course, this is not as if we would post their pics in a newspaper without asking but please respect it
I would also like to make a small point saying that it is sometimes hard to find the author of the pics posted on the net. I am not against copyright laws and stuff. But if I see no mentioning of the name of the author, i can't do anything. Though, I understand the subject and I really mean no offense on this forum. This is a fan site, it would be totally nonsense for us to do something that would go against the image of the group or anything of that kind. I hope I made myself clear on here, it was just a post to explain my position on that point.
