Unfortunately, over the past several months this site has experienced incidents of *content stealing* of *copyright* property.

So I thought it might be a good idea to post this reminder about Content Ownership and Copyright in an effort to prevent future misunderstandings in this area.

CONTENT OWNERSHIP

All content on this website is owned by the website owner and/or its content suppliers. The website owner and/or content suppliers claim all property rights, including intellectual property rights, for this content and visitors and/or users of this website are not allowed to infringe upon those rights. The website owner and/or content suppliers will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law anyone who attempts to steal our property.

All website visitors and users agree, by the act of using this website, to not copy content from this website without permission from the website owner and/or content suppliers. Any requests to use our content should be submitted to us by e-mail.

This website, including all text, HTML, scripts, and images are copyrighted and owned by the website owner and/or its content suppliers. All rights reserved.

No part of this website may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, mechanical, electronic, or otherwise, including photocopying and recording, or by any information storage and retrieval system, or transmitted by e-mail, or used in any other fashion without the expressed prior written permission of the website owner and/or content suppliers.

This, of course, excludes the downloading and temporary caching of this website on a personal computer for the explicit purpose of viewing this website, as well as any information clearly marked as reproducible.

This copyright policy applies to everyone, including all visitors and users of this website.

SUBMITTING CONTENT TO THIS WEBSITE

When submitting content to this website in the form of *Posts* or *Comments* to Posts, either by making them directly to the website yourself or submitting them by e-mail, they must be your original content; or, if using material created by others you must obtain their written permission and license to use their material (unless it is material clearly identified as being in the *public domain*). For example, you can’t just snag a photograph (or graphic) off the Internet someplace and use it in a post or comment you make on this website, unless it is clearly documented it is in the *public domain*; or, you first obtain written permission and license from the copyright holder to use it. This pertains to all content material, including text, photographs, images, graphics, etc. I’ve found that most copyright holders are happy to let you use their copyright property and material, as long as, you give them credit for it.

I hope you find this information helpful and it serves to prevent future misunderstandings pertaining to Content Ownership and Copyright.
