I marked it, thank you for pointing it out. --Rory096 03:00, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
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)

[edit] Pink Floyd's Back Catalogue

There is an article http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_19971011/ai_n14137530 on how Storm also worked on the Pink Floyd Back Catalogue bodyart photo in 1996. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vk2tds (talk • contribs) 06:12, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Octavarium

The artwork for Dream Theater's Octavarium was done by Hugh Syme (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Syme), not Storm Thorgerson. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.92.67.75 (talk) 20:29, 18 February 2007 (UTC).

Why don't you? I mean the page is editable by anyone. Kind of the point of wikipedia. :)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Alan Parsons - Try Anything.jpg

Image:Alan Parsons - Try Anything.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 Wikipedia articles 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.

If there is other 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 19:12, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Audioslave - Audioslave.jpg

Image:Audioslave - Audioslave.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 Wikipedia articles 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] More TMV Work

Storm Thorgerson also did the cover work to the singles for "Inertiatic ESP" and "Televators" by The Mars Volta...Can someone please add that in and possibly link to it? I'm too technologically unstable to even attempt doing it, myself. Thank you.
