PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING
ME.
I recently received some messages that I have
taken some images from someone's site. The person(s) were rather
angry and
adamant that I remove the given images. Let me only say this, IF
YOU ARE NOT THE
COPYRIGHT HOLDER of an item
(image) DO NOT EMAIL me complaining about
this. I sometimes take pictures from sites or newsgroups and put
them here, to illustrate the text. As far as I know and as far as
US and INTERNATIONAL LAWS are concerned all images in their
natural form depicting characters of various shows belong to the
copyright owners' of the shows. If
you pinched an image from a CD ROM or a game or a magazine and
scanned it in, this does NOT MAKE THE IMAGE
YOURS.
If you are not sure consult a lawyer to explain this.
If you are the BONA FIDE copyright owner of an image eg. picture
from Tenchi Muyo and you represent Pioneer and you
want me to take down the image I will comply and remove it. If
you are not the copyright owner you have NO RIGHT to ask me to do
this. I may give you credit for scanning something in as a
subtitle under a picture if you want this -- contact me.
I will NEVER pinch banners from you or your own
works of art (that represent anime characters).
I only put images from shows/DVD/VHS covers which are pertinent
to the discussion on the site and scan them either myself or get
them of the web (newsgroups, websites).
If you are unhappy contact a lawyer for an explanation.
Note that all works reciprocally here. Since I do not own the
copyright to any images on my site you are free to use them as
you wish
and you do not need to give me any credit. This site is just a
short hobby horse. It does not make money in fact it wastes my
time.
I do it only for fun.
To genuine copyright holders: All images used here are used to
PROMOTE your shows via legal retailers of anime DVD/VHS etc
as listed on my retailer page. I do not offer links to warez
sites or anime download sites. I encourage people in SA to buy
YOUR products and I do this advertising for FREE. If you still
have a problem please contact me: sasami@netactive.co.za
