Internet Plagiarism

I constantly read about original art being taken from others and manipulated without the artists permission or posted on a website with no credit to the artist/creator.

Any images or photos on this site are to the best of my knowledge, "free" or public domain unless otherwise noted. I have included links to the original artist/provider/creator where one is requested by the artist/provider/creator

Any violation of copyright within the pages of this Website or on other Websites which may be linked to this site is unintentional.

If you find an image which is yours or which you KNOW is n ot public domain or 'free etc' please send me an email to inform me of my error . If you are the original artist/creator, please email me your page where I may verify same.

I will be happy to publicly apologize on my web site and any material or links involved will be removed as soon as possible from this Website if there appears to be any copyright infrigement.

What Copyright is:
What is copyright? Outside of cyberspace, most people are aware of what copyright means. The moment something is created, it is copyrighted. You do not need a special license or whatever to copyright it. It is no different in cyberspace. Any content that you create belongs to you! However, registering and licensing does have credibility. They are solid evidence that you did indeed create such things (and cared enough about it to pay money to register the copyright). In cyberspace, with so many forms of electronic input and output, it is more difficult to have solid evidence to show that you did create your stuff. One of the best things to do about this is to simply state in clear, legible wording that your content belongs to you and that nobody else has any right to use it or take it without your permission. For example, take a look at the bottom message at the end of each page of STOP.
