Title: Am I violating copyright laws???
Post by: Aimless Gallivanter on January 11, 2016, 12:40:01 AM
My dad just brought up a valid point to me: Is my blog, http://redwall-lyrics.tumblr.com/ , in danger of violating any copyright laws?
I've got it credited, it says right at the top that everything is from Brian Jacques' Redwall series, and the book from which each entry comes from is clearly marked on each post...
I dunno he's just got me paranoid now is all...

Maybe you should contact one of the people at the Redwall website if you feel that your blog's in any danger.

I wouldn't worry, so long as you are crediting everything properly. I have seen a lot of people do similar things and there has never been a problem. it is like a wikki and there is nothing wrong with a wikki.

You should be okay. As long as your Blog is non-profit, and your not claiming credit for the material then you should be fine. ;)

I would suggest PMIng Lord TBT, he's helped with copyright infringement issues before.
