And right after you just got through telling me off in another topic thread... Alan B wrote: Calm down Cue! Everyone has a right to voice their opinion whether you agree with it or not. So, does that right also include the right for someone else to post a question (even about a subject which many feel has been talked to death)?... not to mention the fact that LL's comment was made 1 month ago (and 2 pages back in this thread).... But real nice of you to bring it to everyone's attention again anyway.

Do what you want, Alan. But if you check it out you will see that the logos are indeed the creative work of someone and are copyrighted/trademarked. In fact there are places where you can download the logos but there are terms of use (personal use only) and some charge fees. If they charge to use them at some places then perhaps they aren't just free for the taking?
I guess this goes along with Chris's thread on what is bugging him. If you had worked hard to create something that was a success wouldn't you want control over how it was used and to be compensated for your work? Why is it prim and proper NOT to want to take from others without their permission? Not everything is in the Public Domain.
I'm not saying Gemini is doing anything hurtful. For all I know some may like the free advertising. But the fact remains that those logos are someone's intellectual property and so far everywhere I've found them there have been requirements for permission to use them. No one has to take it seriously but for those who care, at least the point should be brought up so that they are aware.

You're right. And that's why I flew off the handle. It seems that everything has to turn into a legal debate.

You should check my post again. No disney fonts were used. The only thing associated with Disney was the logo from their cd jewel case karaoke series. Same as others here posting 8125 cd jewel case with sc logo. No different than other posts displaying SC & CB certificates with logos as per their certification. I wouldn’t doubt if those certificates are also displayed @ their venue & karaoke books. Am I infringing copyright trademark by using their karaoke logo off their cd? Do they care?? And if they do care, surely they’ll bring it to my attention, the most contemptible person that I am (which probably falls under ‘Fair Use Act’ anyway). I researched this. They will start by asking me nicely to cease & desist, comply within 15 days & inform them regarding my compliance; or legal action will follow.

My daughters school used to have Disney characters painted on the side of the building (a project by the 5th & 6th graders). They DID get a cease and desist order and had to repaint over it. Dumbest thing I ever saw!

Nope. Books are big enough without adding needless logos
