Copyright....
Unless otherwise noted, the contents of this web site are the copyrighted property of CHarli -
"side-door.com" , "CHarli's Stickers" and "13 Orphans".
My simple explanation.
Intellectual property includes things like graphics, designs, photos, books,
descriptions, phrases -- basically it's anything you create. All intellectual
property is automatically "copyrighted", there is no requirement to register
it or mark it in any way. If you create it you own it and all copyrights. If
your looking at a website, all the pictures, borders, buttons, backgrounds and
even the words are the property of the webmaster/owner and covered by copyright.
Copyright means you are the only one who is allowed to make copies and sell or
give away copies.
So let's talk about copies: if you didn't create it... then you shouldn't print,
copy, save or reproduce in any way without the permission of the owner of that
intellectual property. When in doubt, please ask -- most webmasters will let
you know right away, if you don't get an answer consider it to be "no". There are many graphics that are considered "Public Domain".
That simply means that anyone can use it.
What is a "Registered Copyright"? That is when the owner takes the time to
formally register all their work with the Government. This registration further
protects the owner and any violation can be settled in Federal Court at the violators
expense. Please note all of the expenses are the responsibility of the violator
whether they loose or not. It is a serious crime and penalties can be high, not
to mention the cost of bringing the action --
It's sort of a "Look but don't touch" situation.
If you have any questions, please email me and I will try to do my best.
Please feel free to explore my entire web and thank you for respecting my copyright.
