Me too!
I had to Google it
It really does sound like him.

Was always a huge fan of Baloo too, his voice, his big bumbling self...
Yes!
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!

Ouch!
I did my knee about 3 years ago playing tennis - I don't know what painkiller they put me on but it made my face go numb.
I looked like Keith Richards for about an hour.

I see people post videos with lyrics on youtube a lot and those can be embedded to almost any type of website and those remain on youtube. Maybe it's technically infringing on the original lyric writer's intellectual property or whatever but they probably don't care unless it's something like a movie, main stream novel etc. There are also those lyric websites with tons of ads on them that pretty much make money by just posting lyrics all day.
...But like how you mention, these sites attribute the lyrics properly.
Like, in a movie, they dont tell you who the artist is when they play the song.
They do in the credits though
I'm happy with whatever decision the policy maker decides upon, but we have had instances in the past where poems have been submitted consisting almost entirely of song lyrics.
Without attribution, the author is effectively asking for that piece to be published as their original work, which it isn't.
You can still use song titles without any issues though...

I wonder if that would extend then to the forum where people post song lyrics all the time. It is still part of a website that wants to turn a profit with adds n such. Why would it only apply to the stories? The forum is content too.
Good point.
Although, I suppose the fact that stories can be transmitted off-site adds another element to the equation; you can send them to your Kindle device for example.
I think it also avoids the inevitable fact that some authors won't attribute them properly or at all.

And btw...you can see that her blog posts refer to use of lyrics in a book..
As you can see from the link I posted to the copyright office site, this whole thing is really a non-issue when it comes to quoting a few lines of copyrighted material in something like a story posted on Lush...
Like everything else in the world, it only becomes an issue when money is involved...or potentially involved...
If you're looking for more info on this, NOLO is a highly regarded legal info site...check out the section about "Non-commercial use"...they use the example of quoting Bob Dylan in a poem...
NOLO - The 'Fair Use' Rule: When Use of Copyrighted Material is Acceptable
http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/fair-use-rule-copyright-material-30100.html
I wonder if a lawyer could argue that by submitting a story using copyrighted materials to Lush, which is a commercial operation due to it's advertising and sponsorship, that you are in fact helping to promote the site by submitting that content.
I don't think it's the same as posting a personal piece on your own blog for instance.
It might just be better to insist that no one uses actual song lyrics in stories and avoid the whole issue altogether.

ok, cool. things are already getting serious. i'm liking it. looks like there's going to be some serious competition from all the whisperings i've been hearing in the back ground.
(looks around conspiratorially and whispers)
I've heard that J.K. Rowling has signed up an account under the username *Removed to prevent legal action* to try her hand at erotica!

On the Lush forum home page, to the left of each Forum section; Site/Forum Guidelines, The Pub, The Lounge, Ask the Guys, etc, there is an icon of a sheet of paper. Some of those paper icon has words or text on them, some are a blank sheet of paper. Is there any significance between one and the other? I'm just curious, that's all.
If you mouse over the icon it says either 'New Posts' or 'No New Posts'.

This is a really interesting article on how much it costs an author to licence song lyrics (if anyone is interested):

I think the person in question was just trying to lure you to for their own personal benefits. Like Liz said, Lush is as safe as you make it. Don't put your personal information out there, and it won't be found out. I didn't even use my real full name when I made my account. And I pretty much used a throw away e-mail that doesn't convey any personal info about me.
So just be careful. Any personal information that you put out can be traced back to you even by the most non-savvy users. Not trying to make you paranoid, but it's important to exercise caution. Lush does go above and beyond, I think, to protect users' images. They can't be right clicked or anything. But as I said, people still find ways.
For example, Liz posted one nude photo of herself...and as a result, I linked it to a site full of her nudie bits. I'm currently blackmailing her for a fresh batch of cookies every week. But really, she brought it all on herself.
Big mouth!
Why do you have to tell everyone about that!?
I've just finished the next batch, you'll have them tomorrow.

how safe is our privacy here on lush? specifically, if someone set out to find my real name and location, could they do it, or is my privacy and identity truly protected and safe here on this site? cindy
Hi Cindy,
Simply, Lush (like any other social website) is only as safe as you make it.
Do you list that information on your profile?
Have you told anyone that information here on Lush?
If not, then I don't see how anyone could find out. As long as you use appropriate caution with the information you decide to divulge on the site then you're fine.
If you are that concerned about your privacy on the site, three simple rules should provide all the security you require:
- Don't give out your real name and/or surname.
- Don't tell anyone where you live or where you work.
- Don't upload photos of yourself.
Hope that answers your question
Liz
