replies: text: Actually if you check the edit history, you will find that the original source was a press release. I imagine a press release would be intended for copying and re-use. So this is not a case of a long standing copyright violation. The question is, is it a problem to use press releases in this way. -- Solipsist 07:26, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Audioslave - Audioslave.jpg

message: Hipgnosis was an agency, and thus I think he's taking credit as an art director/partner for all of the work.
e.g. - look at Peter Chistopherson's wiki page - it includes designs and comments from P.C. that Storm is claiming as his? Esp. the PG albums...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Christopherson
So who is correct?
In most agencies a lot of people work on projects like this, which is why they credit the agency, and also makes sole credit hard...

message: I have added a link to a video of the artist talking about his album cover work and how his practice has been influenced by the works of Magritte. In the link I have linked to Magritte's Wikipage, so that readers interested in this artist have direct access to more information on his work. T.Broch (talk) 13:37, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

message: I recently added a short gallery of some of Thorgerson's work to the page, but it got reverted. I don't really understand the reasoning provided, as it seems to me to have been fair use of the images. Also, there's already a picture of Dark Side of the Moon on the page that provides a visual example of Thorgerson's work. Which seems important for someone known for their visual works. Any thoughts?

thread_title:  Reverted gallery 

message: In the article about this Led Zeppelin album, we can read:
"Page has stated that the album cover was the second version submitted by Hipgnosis. The first, by artist Storm Thorgerson, featured an electric green tennis court with a tennis racket on it. Furious that Thorgerson was implying, by means of a visual pun, that their music sounded like a 'racket', the band fired him and hired Powell in his place."
Reference:  Tolinski, Brad; Di Bendetto, Greg (January 1998). "Light and Shade". Guitar World.
Prior, in the article, it is said that Aubrey Powell did the artwork.
So... how can this album be listed within Storm's "Album cover designs (1968–2014)" section?
It should be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 191.54.24.254 (talk) 21:21, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
