Fan Site

I am not selling anything on my website. I do have Google ads on my site which do provide me with some revenue (but I use this to cover my costs, I’m not making any profit). Can you please provide a link to a credible source that tells me if this is legal or not.

Thanks!

You can use a celebrity ("public figure") picture for news purposes, or for educational and discussion purposes, but not — as you seem to know — for commercial purposes.

Incidental ads don’t seem to change that.

One workaround is to link to the Celebrity’s own site, importing part of that site, or a picture kept there. The law on linking to parts of sites and inside pages is still unclear. There was some brouhaha over frames a while ago; it died down with the move to cascading style sheets but has not gone away.

I think this site (below) has a pretty good explanation of "right to privacy" and the use of photographs. Remember that the copyright belongs to someone and unless you have a release you could be in trouble for that. Why can’t you ask the celebrity’s agent?

California has the strictest laws on this.

I’m working on a fan site for Pushing Daisies but don’t understand how to go about getting the images for my layout. I’d love to take screen caps and use those along with images from the official site, but they don’t respond to emails. =/

What are my options?

Technically, any images you find on the show’s official site belong to ABC and you cannot use them without permission.

However, under US Copyright law, it is OK to use a few images in a limited capacity for a fan site. How many you and use and how you use them is up to a judge; there’s no hard-and-fast rule.

Would I were you, I would focus on trying to contact one of the production companies, rather than ABC, since the production companies will have whatever you want.

You can find the production companies on IMDBPro.

My family is seperated due to a job. he has to live in colorado and like me he is a big hockey fan but he cannot watch ducks games there. want to try to avoid buy center ice since we are tight on cash. is there a site where i can watch duck games live online for free? I need an anwser before they play detriot.

Why do you need it as soon as possible? It’s the middle of the night; the Ducks don’t play in the AM hours….

I lost the card that they passed out, and ther is no link to it on the team’s page.

I do believe the team is the Lowell Spinners. I assume you need help getting the card so you can claim a picture they took of you. You should email all of the details to generalinfo@lowellspinners.com or phone (978) 459-2255 (general inquiries) and they will point you into the right direction.

Here is the website:

Look at the footer. Why is it all to the left? I think it has something to do with the Wordpress index…but idk. Could someone help me please!

Thanks!

It is not the footer, in my openion
It is the body section which is making trouble. Just check it. Or if you need some more help, you can contact me

Well, Sasha, answer this question. It could be possibly the most important question you have to answer all day, besides deciding whether to paint your toenails Fruity Fuchia or Tickle-Me Pink. And I know you have no concept of length or bigness, considring you’ve never seen anything on you that fits that idea, but it has to be long, really long. And try to keep it PG-13 rated at the most, which may be hard for you considering your online fan site filled with Hello Kitty hentai. So go and write a Dr. Cox style insult, noobie!

haha well i can’t come up with anything that would be remotely close to Dr. Cox’s insults but don’t you just love him and that show? woohoo for Scrubs!!!

Does anyone know where i can find a site that fans have made Daniel Radcliffe or Harry Potter Wallpapers, Avatars, signatures ect?
Like fans making them on forums or something?

Are any of you a fan that make them?

Mugglenet.com

*H*

Since Fanlib is no longer available, and since most of them are involved with Harry Potter, I’ve been hunting for good sites on the web that don’t involve HP at all.
Thanks

you could try a non-fanfic site, like storymash.com. It’s collaborative fiction where anyone can "mash" stories written by anyone else. And they pay a few bucks for each published chapter. It is a fun way to write entertaining fiction! And no HP at all

I know that bow wow’s not with columbia anymore but his fan fiction site was still up as long as you had the direct link (same for b2k). Thanks so much for any help!
bow wow’s site is red and white (his site that was set up w/ columbia records)

b2k board is black and red (the site that they had set up with their record company)

try searching on the internet, keep scrolling down until you find what you need, you haven’t given enough information. e.g what the site looks like etc.

unofficial fan sites only please
Already got dothebouncy.com in there, its obviously my first choice Rangers fan site! lol
