I try to use public domain images but very difficult with The Beatles - and I probably err in some instances. There is some fair-use wriggle room when it comes to album covers etc - at least I think so but of course defer to m’learned friends.

Personally I feel that the obsession with copyright is unfortunate - The Beatles themselves cheerfully ‘borrowed’ left right and centre - openly in the case of Come Together/You Can’t Do That, for example. My own published work turns up all over the place - one reader is distributed by Tehran University in their own pdf. I look forward to that royalty cheque sometime around the 12th (of never).

Will try to be careful and always try to give a credit at least - if you notify me of where I have not I will remove.
