This site may contain copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner. Users may make such material available in an effort to advance awareness and understanding of issues relating to civil rights, economics, individual rights, international affairs, liberty, science & technology, etc. We believe this constitutes a 'fair use' of any such copyrighted material as provided for in section 107 of the US Copyright Law.

At some point freedom of speech and copyright law merge. The following interpretation of "Fair Use" and subsequent posting policy were developed with the assistance of qualified legal council however, we are not lawyers and cannot offer you legal advise as to the limits of "Fair Use"

Though legally each situation is evaluated independently according to guidelines that were intentionally left open to interpretation, we believe generally this policy represents "Fair Use" of any such copyrighted material for the purposes of education and discussion.

You are responsible for what you "publish" on the internet. You must be sure any copyrighted material you choose to post for discussion on this forum falls within the limits of "Fair Use" as defined by the law.

Original Message It seems to me that the big hub-ub over copyright these days on GLP can be solved with a simple disclaimer stating that the OP's post is purely for educational purposes, and that all copyright material disseminated within a post is purely for educational purposes.

I think this will work under Feds law, and all we have to do is create a GLP template, whereby users can proclaim "educational purposes." This of coures can only work with GLP users who have a theseis, theory, hypothesis, or any form of original thought supported by the materials.

Then again, a copy paste disclaimer as one of the buttons can appear with a click: ask Sergio --he can do this in an hour.

Obviously, GLP has lawyers...my question is why haven't they thought of this? Seems kind of obvious.

Anyway, thanks for the website Trin: blessings and to a new age.

Yours Truly,
AC Whatever my # is
