COPYRIGHT NOTIFICATION
ANY image is copyrighted... even an image that you
create... at the moment that it is saved to disk or printed out. Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States to the authors
of "original works." This protection is in place whether or not the work is
published. It gives the owner the exclusive right
to do and to allow others to do the following:
- To reproduce the work (including place on web pages)
- To distribute copies of the copyrighted work (including place on web
pages)
- To display the copyrighted work publicly (including place on web pages)
- To create derivative works based upon the copyrighted work (meaning
using an original, or parts of it, in a new work)
It is illegal for anyone to violate any of the rights
provided by the copyright laws, making the violator subject to VERY STIFF
FINES as well as probable confiscation of all hardware and software used in
the theft.
Clipping/capturing/stealing art from other's web
sites without prior permission is theft! One should
NEVER use art, altered or otherwise, for which they do not have full rights to,
or for which they have not requested AND received permission from the
copyright holder for use.
In other words, while anyone can create and post a list of historic fortifications such as we have, PLEASE DO NOT make your webpage LOOK and FEEL like ours!
