Talk:Flood (Jars of Clay song)

I'm concerned that the use of the full lyrics of the song in this article violates copyright laws. It's my understanding that it doesn't constitute fair use. I see work has been put into the article, so I wanted to discuss deleting that section before I doing so. Comments? -Throbblefoot 05:49, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

You are correct. They are a clear copyright violation. Please see Wikipedia:Copyright problems for instructions on how to proceed, if you haven't dealt with copyright violations before. -- Captain Disdain 05:57, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I deleted the offending section, but wasn't sure what to do about the chords section - is a transcription of the song's cords a copyvio too? Thanks,Throbblefoot 07:09, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, since song melodies are considered to be distinct works of art, yes, that's a copyvio. (Also, listing the entirety of a song's lyrics and chords is not awfully encyclopedic, so even if it wasn't a copyright violation, it might not be very appropriate to include them in Wikipedia.) -- Captain Disdain 08:13, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
