Well sort of.
If you write the bio paragraph yourself then there are no copyright problems. And if it contains no slander or libel then it very likely legal.
But just cut and paste of a bio that someone else has written is problematic and against policy AIUI.
ekennermusic, you’ve raised an interesting point around bios.
The general approachthat I’ve seen has been to link to offsite bios.
This now seems strange for an encyclopedia.
Wider discussion is needed.
Photos ofArtists do face legal problems around copyright.
There had been movement on getting these important images happening.
But then a copyright troll case came up and AIUI, progress has slowed.
More disussion and information is needed around this topic.
