# also
if you change/shop an image by 25% (i think)
then it is no longer held by it's original copyright

although it's got to be tricky figuring what exactly is 25%
i think it was brought in to stop peeps suing each other
over images/logos etc that coincidentally look a little alike

that it can't be distinguishable from the original.

# In terms of music, it's more about whether or not the song would still be a song without the sample.
If that helps at all.

For example, "Ice Ice Baby" would not still be a song if it didn't have that sample from "Under Pressure".

# that sounds very hard
maybe we need a lawyer chappy, or chappess to explain it all

or maybe a "munters guide to the legalities of images" as it's own faq?
