SPCodex is in no way affiliated with The Smashing Pumpkins, any related act or their agents. As such, only fair use content can be used here.
Written content
Lyrics and other written content are adapted from the source. Unfortunately this may mean they are slightly wrong. SPCodex is not licensed to host verbatim lyrics, so please do not copy lyrics word for word. The same applies to any information; if you found some interesting facts on another website, it must be freely licensed in order to copy it here. It almost always is not, so please use your own words and refrain from copying and pasting content.
Artwork
Album/song artwork is uploaded at a lower resolution and used for educational purposes only. The page for every non-free image should be tagged with {{non-free album cover}}.
Multimedia
While possible, audio and video is generally not hosted here at all. Instead, the {{youtube}} template should be used to embed external videos. Copyright law is complicated but it may be reasonable to assume any long-standing YouTube video can be embedded here. YouTube's content ID system usually ensures copyright holders are compensated by ad revenue. However, it is very much preferred to only use official video, for instance from @smashingpumpkins, VEVO or the record label.
Low-quality audio limited to 30 seconds or so may be uploaded, but there is generally little need for this as we link to Spotify or embed YouTube videos.
