Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

People can be really, really stupid. An arts group in San Francisco rehearsed and announced a for-pay live version of "Once More With Feeling".
And didn't bother to ask Fox about the rights.
Hands up, all theater people who wonder what they were smoking.
Alas, it turns out that Fox never grants theatrical rights for this in any case.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Damn. I was planning on going to that thing. The question of rights-getting never crossed my mind; I just assumed that if they were doing it at all, obviously they'd taken care of the necessary copywright and permission issues long before.
Apparently it's mostly a dance troupe -- possibly all of this is different, or not so much an issue, in the world of dance, and all this just never occurred to them?

Maybe. I know it's an issue for Martha Graham dances, because who had the rights was a big deal after her death. And I think it's an issue for Balanchine, too.

Yup. Dances can be protected by copyright. If you're going to dance either Balanchine or Graham, you have to get permission.
So there's really no excuse for the dance troupe, except that (I infer) they're amateurs.

hip deep in pie
Possibly, because they are dancers, they are clueless about rights and such. Some really small companies think that they'll avoid detection, and are so small that it won't be worth it to go after them, so they don't bother.

No such animal. I think Fox has employees whose job is to sift through LiveJournal posts so they can send cease and desist orders to people using screencaps from their shows as icons.

Someone on scans_daily on LJ is collecting images for an essay on subtle BDSM imagery. I like the sensuality of what they have so far. Pretty stuff.

If skills sold, truth be told, I'd probably be
lyrically, Talib Kweli.
Truthfully I wanna rhyme like Common Sense
But I did five mill' - I ain't been rhymin like Common since (Jay-Z)
Can anyone explain "One Year Later" to me? I was reading an interview with Gail Simone that mentioned it in connection with BoP, but I couldn't quite tell what it was all about. Thanks!
