What Is The Song Playing At The Funeral At The Season 1 6 feet under Finale

[1]

In the episode, at the funeral, a piano song is played, so what is the song and artist?Curb Chain (talk) 04:21, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Looking at the soundtrack listing on the IMDB link you posted above, I would say it is one of the Preludes Op. 28 by Frederic Chopin. --Canley (talk) 05:33, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

There are a number of preludes in the set. Which one?Curb Chain (talk) 01:16, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Given the setting of a funeral, No. 4 and No. 20 seem likely possibilities. Never having seen the show, I can't say; but at the bottom of our articles there are links to YouTube videos of performances. Check them out. Deor (talk) 12:11, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

I've added your name to the description at https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/File:DVD_Cover_-_Shakira_Live_From_Paris.jpg

This doesn't make it appear on the article, but you can get to the description by clicking on the picture in the article. I don't know if it is possible or appropriate to have your name appear with the picture in the article - someone more experienced in these matters will probably advise.

I have asked Delta to come here and comment on this, as this looks to me like a fair-use question. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 12:36, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Its not standard practice to add any text to the actual article, just the file discription page. (and this is not a non-free issue, just general copyright practices). ΔT _{^{The only constant}} 13:29, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

FYI, the OP zapped this section except for his signature. I don't know what that's about, so I restored it. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 13:45, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

This is not what David Wolff-Patrick wants to hear, but he doesn't have any copyright interests in that image. The photo is a faithful reproduction of a copyrighted work and there is no original work by David Wolff-Patrick in the photo; hence the only copyright belongs to whoever took the original Shakira photo(s) that comprise the image, and to whoever edited it before printing. Comet Tuttle (talk) 21:33, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Uh, are you sure he didn't take the photo? An uncropped version appears on his website : [2].

Oops! No, I'm not! My apologies. I thought the original poster had merely bought a CD and photographed or scanned the leaflet. I have stricken my statements above that were based on this apparently incorrect assumption, and I refer David Wolff-Patrick to Textorus's answer below. Comet Tuttle (talk) 18:57, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Yes, it' s mine and Picture has been choosen by the Artist and the Record Company. I don' t understand this comment, and I can confirm I' m the Author of the Picture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.57.220.1 (talk) 07:19, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

David, your concern deserves a respectful, helpful answer. Images appearing in the English Wikipedia are processed according to U.S. copyright law, which allows fair use of certain images in certain circumstances. If you feel that the use of this image without your permission, or without crediting you as creator, violates U.S. law or the laws in force where you live, it might be better to ask your question at the media copyright questions desk, or as a last resort, to contact the Wikimedia Foundation with your concerns: their email address is listed on this page. Textorus (talk) 10:19, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Note, though, that the image used on Wikipedia is not actually David's photo, it's the album cover – a significant difference, even though David took the photo used on the album cover. The fair use of album covers in Wikipedia is well established and I would say there is little ground for complaint here. --Viennese Waltz 10:43, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

That may be the case, but I don't know for certain myself because I am not a copyright lawyer. But the OP deserves an authoritative answer based on Wikipedia policy and applicable law, not mere personal opinion, and I directed him to places where he can probably get a more convincing answer than on this particular reference desk. No one else so far in this thread has bothered to refer him to the actual policies governing image use, until my last comment. If the OP lives outside the United States, he may also find this content guideline helpful. Textorus (talk) 11:26, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm also not sure that "we've done it for a long time and haven't yet gotten sued" is "well established." It's not like we're talking about case law, here. --Mr.98 (talk) 13:37, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

However, the Foundation's counsel has supported our non-free policy, which permits claims of fair use of nonfree album covers in articles about those albums, so we have verified legal counsel supporting the establishment of this idea. If there's a legal problem here, it's on the part of whoever produced the album cover. Nyttend (talk) 13:10, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
