Hm. Putting a picture in an article isn't really syncing
though, is it?

I recall asking this list some time ago whether it
would be considered a derivative of a song if I created
a movie short that moved to the beat of that song, but
the song wasn't in the movie. The idea was to have the
user get their own copy of the music and sync it wiht
the movie.

I'm pretty sure the universal answer on teh list was that
the movie would not be considered a derivative of the song.

It was an awful long time ago, though.
