Our website, www.rockmusiccards.com, operates as a not-for-profit art curation platform dedicated to showcasing and promoting rock music through collections of music cards. We recognize the importance of copyright in protecting creative works, including album covers, promotional materials, designs and related content.
The use of copyrighted materials on this website is intended solely for educational and promotional purposes. These materials are displayed in a transformative way, serving as a selection and commentary on the featured music releases. We believe that our curated selection of music cards adds value to the music releases by promoting and giving visibility to these works within the rock music community. Our intention is to celebrate and promote these releases within the rock music community, increasing their visibility and reach.
We adhere to the principles of fair use under copyright law. We believe this use of copyrighted materials falls under the fair use doctrine of U.S. and European copyright law, which permits limited use of copyrighted work without permission for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.
The following factors support our fair use claim:
- Purpose and Character of Use: The use is non-commercial and promotes the original works by increasing their exposure.
- Nature of the Copyrighted Work: The materials used are primarily factual (album covers, band photos) with limited creative content.
- Amount and Substantiality of the Portion Used: Only a portion of the copyrighted music work and design art is used, focusing on the elements relevant to the curation process.
- Effect of the Use on the Potential Market: Our use does not negatively impact the market value of the original works, rather it may enhance it.
The use of copyrighted materials is transformative, serving a different purpose from the original works and enhancing the educational and cultural significance of the music. We only address the rock music card collection on this website, its concept, art curator labor, and the transformative re-design art of the digital items curated and exhibited on www.rockmusiccards.com.
WE DO NOT CLAIM OWNERSHIP OF THE COPYRIGHTED MATERIALS FEATURED ON THIS WEBSITE.
If you are a copyright owner and have concerns about the use of your materials on our platform, please don't hesitate to contact us directly at CONTACT email address.
