Don't chance it with anything even remotely copyrighted! Deep pockets are basically writing bots to find and claim against content. (Anything and everything it seems.)
Even if a content creator has copyright to all their work, how can they fight 1000 claims in court! They cant. I've played a guitar a few times on an episode. I'm intentionally not playing an actual song. Just a few chords. Unless the bots start claiming against G-D-A. <- Only half joking. Oo I know the conversation that spawned this discussion. I think the person on the other end is actually jazzed up and enthusiastic to jump into HPR full swing. (And welcome!) But, being new to the community at large maybe sit back a bit and take it all in for a while. ;) We're all in this together. NYbill
