Terms of Use

You may use much of my material as long as you link to, and credit it. If you use any of my images or other material in ways I deem inappropriate (including but not limited to disparaging, insulting or defaming me) you are violating my terms of use and infringing my copyright. You must remove such material on my request. If you do not, I will file a DMCA notice with your web host and get the images removed. Images which include my portrait or other family members (i.e. my children) may not be displayed at another site without my express prior consent. If an image of me which I own is displayed at another site the same rules apply. You may not use such images without my permission.

I, in turn, do link to other images on the web and display them in this blog. Should any copyright holder object to this, please notify me and I will remove such images immediately. I will also credit the the photographer for images I display. If I omit such credit and you would like such information added please let me know.

If you choose to use portions of my posts or copy personal images, you agree to:

1. use my material for NON-commercial purposes

2. acknowledge my blog (by name) as the source of this material and link to it.

3. notify me that you are using my material (images only) and provide me a link to its location in your blog

4. agree to remove the material (images only) if I ask you to do so.

I regret I have to lay out these terms, but there are people who have abused my content before so hence these rules.

There are images on this site which are NOT mine and therefore not within my power to give you permission to use. Please contact me if you wish to know which images are mine.

MP3 Blog

My Folk & World Music category is an mp3 blog which highlights my favorite folk and world music artists. My sole purpose is to educate people about the cultures from which this music emanates and promote artistic diversity and tolerance. I seek to introduce a wider audience to the music and to encourage readers/listeners to buy the music for themselves. If you like something you heard here, buy it and support the artists. If any owner of a musical copyright objects to a song appearing on my blog, please contact me and I will remove it immediately.
