Fair use rationale for Image:Ruby-Spears82.jpg
edit
Image:Ruby-Spears82.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
Proper Stance on HB Connection
editWarner Brothers DVD releases of Ruby Spears shows are crediting Hanna Barbera as their owners in the actual copyright information. This legal change should be noted somewhere here, because either it was done at some point or they are just whistle blowing RS was a sister studio all along. WB can't forge the copyright ownerships, and they clearly say Hanna Barbera on Thundarr, Heathcliff, Centurions, Dragons Lair dvds. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.176.144 (talk) 05:21, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
- I'll have to listen to the interview again, but when Joe Ruby & Ken Spears were on the internet talk show Stu's Show (they were on twice, I thick this came up in their second appearance), they discuss how, when they sold the rights to their back catalog to Turner during Great American's sale of Hanna-Barbera to Turner in 1991, their cartoons were lumped in with the HB cartoons, and Warner Bros. uses "Hanna-Barbera Productions" as the holding company for the copyrights of that entire HB/RS library (because Ruby-Spears still exists as its own company, and they no longer own those programs). --FuriousFreddy (talk) 11:56, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
Apparently They Are Reopen Again
editCalled their office in Burbank and got the after hours recording and sure enough for Joe Ruby Press 1 and for Ken Spears Press 2 so I'd say this article needs to be updated. TheGoofyGolfer (talk) 06:51, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
Who owns their library and where is it?
editThe page on Saturday Supercade says that the show is partially lost, and some of the YouTube versions are nearly unwatchable in terms of image quality. Where did the originals end up, and whop owns them? --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 22:34, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
