Anyone get Renaissance Magazine?

[wendyzski]

I understand that there is an ad on the back cover in which a picture of Minstrosity appears.

1) Can someone confirm this?
2) Can someone send me a scan of this ad?

Use of our image is covered under copyright, and usually we specify use for the show year in which we are actually booked, unless the show has this kind of thing in their stock contract. So this might be a problem if we are being used without our permission to advertise a show that we (obviously) won't be appearing at.

Thanks muchly!

I think I've seen this title (or did once, anyway) at the Barnes & Noble in Evanston, if that helps at all...

I've gotten a confirmation that we are indeed pictured in an ad on the back page. Just need to find out which show it is for to find out if there is a problem.

A couple of the larger corporate shows reserve a longer period to use photos, but I'd say 2/3 of the contracts we did specify use "to promote the 2006 show only" or whenever we were contracted for. As Minstrosity won't be performing any more, using our image to promote a show could be a violation of the contract that was signed. Won't know that until I can see the ad and/or find out which show it is for.

And we can't let it go because if you don't defend stuff like this you are assumed to abdicate your rights.

Well since I have to hit up Borders ANYWAY, I can pick up the magazine and see which one it is. OR, you can e-mail the people at renaissance magazine and ask them who is advertising on their back cover :)

-Kimmy who almost signed this like she signs her e-mails at work. Ohhey autopilot

I'd need to see the ad to determine if it's a violation. If it's a crowd shot and we're in the background then it's probably OK. If it's a feature shot of just us there could be a problem.

I'd prefer not to bother the magazine as 1) I'm not sure yet that there even IS a problem and 2) even if there is it's between us and the people that placed the ad.

No, it's specifically you, Josie, John. JUST you three. Not a crowd shot.

You're one of about five pictures from the faire, scattered throughout the full page ad.

You're pennywhistling at the time. As opposed to singing.

I don't remember it being on the back cover, I thought it was about halfway through...

I remember, Joe showed me yesterday... Gulf Coast, Pennsacola.

And no, I don't have the thing in front of me... I just remember the ad pretty clearly.

Send email to acroyear70's email on livejournal, and ask him to scan and send (he's working right now or I'd call him).
