All articles, photographs, illustrations and anything else nailed to the floor or otherwise on the citygigs site are copyright their respective authors, whether named or not.

Use of Text

You may NOT reproduce, in whole or in part, any of the pages from this site on your own site, with the exception of:

1. photographs, as indicated below
2. quotes of no more than two or three sentences, provided a link to the original story is provided immediately with the quote as it appears in your site

If you wish to reproduce more than this, please contact us directly.

You are, however, welcome to LINK to any pages (not photographs) on this site.

Use of Photographs

As noted, above, all photographs on the Citygigs site are copyright their respective photographers. This means that you may not re-publish them without the photographer's express permission. Including on web sites, even your own personal private web sites.

Here's the deal.

1. If you are a non-commercial site, then you may use photographs taken by Citygigs photographers, IF YOU FOLLOW THE REST OF THESE STEPS. (Commercial sites -- including "official" sites for major-label bands -- should contact our Photo Editor at sprout@citygigs.com to arrange licensing fees.) We cannot grant you permission to use band promo photos, CD covers, or any other image whose copyright is not ours.
   
   
2. Copy the appropriate image(s) to your own site; please DON'T LINK to them in our site since this adds a burden to our servers.
   
   
3. You MUST give credit and a link back to the story from which you took the photos. THIS IS IMPORTANT!!! This is what you are giving us in return for using our photos. (See below for more on this.)
   
   
4. The credit and link MUST be in this form:
   
   • The photo caption and photographer's full name must remain on the image EXACTLY AS IT APEARS ON THE SITE. Please do not crop, shrink, expand or other wise mutilate the image!
     
   • The photo must be linked directly to the original story, not just to Citygigs.
     
   • Citygigs must be given credit for the material, and a link provided to our frontpage.
     
   • The credit MUST appear WITH the photo. Not down the page, not on a credits page, but immediately above, below or beside the photo.
     
   • The credit and link must appear with EACH photo you use.
     
   
   (If you're wondering why we're so specific, it's because a lot of people don't understand the concept of "give us credit and a link," so we have to spell it out exactly.)
   
   
5. Finally, send a message to sprout@citygigs.com, stating which picture(s) you are using and the URL(s) of the pages you are using them on. (A thank you and some words of encouragement would also be greatfully appreciated.)

We appreciate the fact that many people like the photographs in Citygigs, we really do. And we are usually flattered that people want to use them in their own sites. We are just as disheartened, however, when we find people stealing them without thinking to give any credit...

We appreciate your cooperation, and also welcome any comments you may have (email us at info@citygigs.com).

Thanks,

Citygigs.
