Band tags.

Posted under General

Right now band tags seem to be split between being typed character and copyright, so which one is it? Personally I think it should be copyright, because bands are collections of characters, which is how we define a copyright here if a recall correctly.

These ones that I know of.

dio_(band)
d_(band)
fact_(band)
oasis_(band)
genesis_(band)
madness_(band)
radiohead_(band)
queen_(band)
nirvana_(band)
blur_(band)
iron_maiden_(band)
kiss_(rock_band)

I could understand Dio, since Dio is what people call Ronnie James Dio, but that should still be a copyright by my reckoning.

Technically, wouldn't every real person come under copyright?

Like under one big copyright. Such as real_person, or something less stupid?

Well, I have no idea what it's called, but vaguely recall there being some sort of rules for using real-life people in art without needing their permission... famous people in particular being "acceptable targets".

Alignn didn't mean an umbrella he means the tagtype.

I imagine they're all tagtyped as characters because iron maiden is by all appearances the oldest and it was probably already tagtyped as character.
