I wanted to make sure this was seen. I’ve put up a new page regarding Copyrights and Disclaimers. It can be read here:
The reason I’m posting this is because I want it known as I’ve posted in the disclaimer section in the sidebar that I do not own anything. What I’ve found on the internet is subject to the same laws I’ve posted here and that is the FAIR USE law or what is also known as CREATIVE COMMONS. The meaning of CREATIVE COMMONS is listed below.
The idea of universal access to research, education, and culture is made possible by the Internet, but our legal and social systems don’t always allow that idea to be realized. Copyright was created long before the emergence of the Internet, and can make it hard to legally perform actions we take for granted on the network: copy, paste, edit source, and post to the Web. The default setting of copyright law requires all of these actions to have explicit permission, granted in advance, whether you’re an artist, teacher, scientist, librarian, policymaker, or just a regular user. To achieve the vision of universal access, someone needed to provide a free, public, and standardized infrastructure that creates a balance between the reality of the Internet and the reality of copyright laws. That someone is Creative Commons.
I am not saying that I own anything unless it has my name attached to it such as the tribute section or any synopsis created for Tamara’s films or her television work. There have been some instances where I have been granted permission such as in the gallery section under LITTLE CHENIER where I was granted permission to post certain pictures by Stafford Scott who was attached to the film. All other content I again claim under FAIR USE and CREATIVE COMMONS for educational purposes and to advance the knowledge of Tamara Braun and her work in its totality. Where I have been contacted to remove images, I have done so.
