Feel free to talk about ANY Music you are interested in.

Embedding files from YouTube is welcome on this board.

Also any Hyper Links you wish to use.

This is a public board. All members, regardless of membership level (this includes pawns) are welcome to post here.

YOUTUBE has changed the way it codes it's Video Embed's. To make it work now you must right-click on the Video itself, and select 'Copy Embed HTML'. The Embed link under the Video does NOT work at present on BrainKing.

Please note - ANY material posted here deemed offensive or plagiarized will be removed immediately. The posting user(s) will be banned. This is not negotiable. Plagiarism is posting any original writings of another person <including song lyrics> without proper reference. Such material will be removed to avoid copyright infringements.

: internet forum use of lyrics
If they are your lyrics, yes. If the lyrics belong to someone else, then, generally, no. The right to distribute copies of a work vest with the owner of rights in the work - it is an exclusive right granted under the law. Posting the lyrics on a website without permission would generally be an infringement, unless it falls under the concept of Fair Use ( see: http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html).
