Jamiroquai Fan-Section on my website
Hello everybody there!
I am a big german jamiroquai-fan and I have one question concerning my website.
I want to make a section there with jamiroquai, but I am still hesitating because of copyright reasons. It won't be a big section, just "my personal fan-story, a report of a concert and a little discography of their albums with my own thoughts concerning them.
so I want to show the cd-covers and use a picture of the buffalo-man for illustration.
can someone tell me, whom i should ask, concerning the copyright?

Well, for the covers, try using low resolutions. Something like 150x150 or 200x200, just to show how the covers look like. About the Buffalo Man, I think you can use him too, in any size. I mean, his image is all over all these fan sites, so it must be legal if you just want to 'showcase' 'him'.
In other words, use low-res images of the covers, and short and low-quality samples of the songs, unless they are from the gigs, even though I'm not sure if the gigs, too, are copyrighted... |

Thank you very much for your reply!!! 
You helped me a lot!
But are you really sure that I won't get difficulties, when I put some low-quality samples of the songs there? I think, this is a great idea, which could increase the interest of the visitors. I could make some low-quality samples of some unofficial remixes and studiotracks too, what do you think?!
Maybe I will post the link to my website here, when the site is ready.
