Copyright[edit]

As the song was inspired by the poem, the copyright to the lyrics belongs to Paul Simon. I'm removing them. The poem can remain (on Wikisource, where it is now) because it's in the public domain. LeaHazel : talk : contribs 14:24, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It all depends on how similar the song is to the poem. If the song lyric is identical to the poem, or there is only negligible differences, then the lyrics does not have copyright. If the lyric differs substantially from the poem, then the copyright belongs to Paul Simon. Wooyi 00:23, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's "inspired by" and differs considerably. The plot is the same, but I don't think they share more than a line or two, at most. LeaHazel : talk : contribs 18:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:SoundsSilence.jpg[edit]

Image:SoundsSilence.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 this Wikipedia article 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.
