I have been all over the net and I am trying to decipher(sp?) two lines in the song Bette Davis Eyes.
I have looked in all sorts of places I went to usenet (alt.lyrics) and they keep giving me "Her hair is *HOLLOW GOLD[/]. That doesn’t make sense. It must be Harlowe (like Jean Harlowe) gold. But the people at usenet alt.lyrics tell me it can’t be as Jean Harlowe had Platinum (aka white) hair. [btw I am not sure of the spelling of Harlowe]
The second line given to me was “She’s got Greta Garbo’s STANDARD SIZE.” What is this? I assumed the line was “something something thighs” because wasn’t Greta Garbo the “leg lady.”
Anyway I even went to Kareoke sites and those Kareoke sites publish those lines too.
apparently the record industry was losing money because the public had free access to the lyrics to Olivia Newton John’s “Lets Get physical” so they sued and closed the site down.
If you had only quoted the relevant LINE . . . or left a hyperlink to the song in question . . . that would have been fine.
Under the Fair Use Statutes of the Copyright Law, a quotation is all right . . . a line or a paragraph in question is fine . . .quoting the entire thing is not.
When you print the entire contents, that’s not quotation, that’s reproduction – which you cannot do without the permission of the copyright owner.
Please do not do that again on this site.
