we are a newly established company in africa Zambia in perticilar and we are lacking international markrting strategies. how do we go about it and how can we get intouch with people who can market our company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by John jamani ( talk • contribs) 09:37, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
I want to bribe my favourite new band (who are fantastically talented with their own songs, and I am creating an HD Blu-Ray archive of all their live shows) to do a cover of the Bunnymen's lost classic "Flaming Red." and video it for my own private entertainment. Assuming they were prepared to do this(?), what fees would be payable for a "one off" disk for myself, or if enough people were interested, commercial copies of the resulting video? What if it was put on national TV or You-tube? I intend to keep to the letter of the law so that all parties are rewarded for their work,and to avoid any possibility of legal hassles for me or the band. Apparently Warner Brothers own the rights to this song, which I have never seen performed live and no videos exist of it being performed either. Just how complicated is it to do this? My only interest is from a cultural/artistic perspective. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.1.88.9 ( talk) 13:26, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Regarding local laws, I am in England, UK. The band(s) I want to perform the song (Rozi Plain with her full band and Francois and the Atlas Mountains) are mistaken for twee folkies so they are cheap when in reality they are better than The Velvet Underground. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.1.80.7 ( talk) 08:02, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
I happened to catch what I think is an omission in the category Musical groups from Illinois. I'm not familiar with how Wikipedia works or how to input any data, so hopefully this method is OK.
The band Styx, on your own Wikipedia site, states the band was originally formed in "1961 in the Roseland section of the south side of Chicago." Originally the band was named "Tradewinds." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styx_(band)
I didn't get to see it, but the story is that Styx performed years earlier at the high school I went to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.170.31.188 ( talk) 14:40, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Our article doesn't explain WHY there was controversy in the UK over the use of "Ninja" which led to all references to ninjas being removed. We also got the Hero Turtles in the early 90's (late 80's?), but some years/seasons later it flipped over to Ninja Turtles for no apparently obvious reason. I've tried Googling but all I pick up are WP mirrors; everybody knows that there was censorship, but no-one seems to know why. WHY were ninjas controversial in the UK at the time?

Can anyone direct me to the correct source to request permission to use an episode of "King of the Hill," in limited and not-for-profit training? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1RKrieg2 ( talk • contribs) 21:00, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
