Image licensing and hosting

How Much Music uses a mix of generated artwork and a curated set of self-hosted artist photos sourced from Wikimedia Commons. Each image below lists the original source page, the license, the local hosted file path, and whether personality-rights caution still applies.

Self-hosted Wikimedia Commons images

• License scope: These files are reused under the license shown on each Wikimedia Commons file page. Attribution and license links should stay attached to the reuse context.
• Personality rights: Some photos depict living identifiable people. That can still matter even when copyright reuse is allowed, especially for promotional or endorsement-like use.
• Hosting: Approved files are stored locally under /public/images/artists so the site no longer depends on live Commons redirects.

Generated artwork fallback

Artists without an approved self-hosted Commons photo use generated SVG artwork. That keeps the catalog visually complete without introducing uncertain third-party image rights.
