Surely the permission to use their image is not the same as permission to use their server bandwidth? I think we could argue that it's ok to use any artwork thanks to fair use, but it's the actual delivery of that image that is the issue. --[[User:Gecks|Gecks]] |

<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">That's important, yes. And therefor this page is only meant for individual permissions for single images. Other agreements must still be listed on [[Cover Art Sites|CoverArtSites]]. Maybe this should be made more clear on this page. -- [[User:OutsideContext|OutsideContext]] |
|||
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">Quite, but current image in this list seems to be have been added based on the fact that it is free for use under a creative commons license, which is not the same thing as a 'you can use our server bandwidth' license. --[[User:Gecks|Gecks]] |
|||
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">I think the bandwidth is a decent consideration, one we've not really addressed anywhere. One counter consideration though, and I really have no idea as to this one's answer... I don't know what the cc-by-nc 2.0 Germany license actually says (let alone any other license that may in future be used and cause an image to be listed here.) Does it allow us to re-host the image, be it here, or at Archive, or elsewhere? Let's ignore the wayback machine arguments here - specifically with regards to this image, does that license allow us to re-host the image to Archive for display? If we do so, don't we detach it from the license itself and thus technically break the license? -- -- [[Brian Schweitzer|BrianSchweitzer]] 14:53, 15 September 2007 (UTC) |

<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">bandwidth is the only consideration, so far. as shown with the use of archive.org, evidently the MBz community don't care too much about usage licenses! As far as I know, cc-by-nc allows you to rehost an image, provided the image is presented under the same license, i guess. --[[User:Gecks|Gecks]] |

I just noted that the one "given" permission listed above is a [[Creative Commons|CreativeCommons]] one, with a [[No Commercial|NoCommercial]] (nc) clause. I know that [[MetaBrainz]] is a non-profit institution, but if I'm not much mistaken, certain services (e.g. [[Live Data Feed|LiveDataFeed]]) are commercial in nature, and while we can nullify [[MusicBrainz]]' ''own'' NC clause for the clients (or "customers"), we can't just nullify anyone else's. As I see it, this means that we'll either have to not accept licenses with NC clauses, or store license/permission in the db along with the relevant data, and not push that into MB's "commercial" products. (Note that we can still ask the respective copyright holder(s) to gain an exception to the NC clause.) Thoughts anyone? -- [[User:FrederikSOlesen|FrederikSOlesen]] 14:54, 08 March 2008 (UTC) |

Revision as of 18:21, 17 April 2009
This page stores permission links for coverart which is made free for use by the rightsholder(s), under cc-by-nc or otherwise.
Please link to both the release and the page providing permission. If permission is granted by other means, such as an email, please copy the document into a subpage to this one, and provide a link to it from here.
It is not ok to simply add such artwork. Documentation of the permission must also be added here.
