An outlet for players whose creativity extends beyond the board. Post your original works here!
The posting of song lyrics is not the purpose of this board and as such please refrain from doing so. Exceptions can be made to this rule if you are the copyrighted owner of the lyrics and the lyrics are not found offensive by the majority of the population. This board is a place to post your original works of poetry and prose and also a place for discussion of poetry and related areas.
We have received word from Fencer that other's poetry can be posted to this board. These are the two conditions: 1) When someone posts a known copyrighted poem, he must add the author's name as well 2) If the author is not known, the poem can be posted without problems
Stardust: Excuse me, but the rule for Poetry is the same as for Lyrics. All Poems and Lyrics are subject to copyright law. However, if you look at that post regarding the law, you will see that under 'Fair Use', it is permissable to post ANY Lyrics or Poems, unless you are making money from it, or being derogatory towards the copyright owner.
As for the length issue. This board runs up against the same problem of 'flooding'.
So, I don't think everyone should post giant novels of material, as it uses up everyone else's space.
The real point here is there shouldn't be hypocracy in the Music Board if people are allowed to post copyrighted poetry on this board.
