Here is a brief legal sermon that may save your financial soul: All of the images on this web site require written permission for usage per copyright notice. It’s that little line of text with “©” appearing at the bottom of all web pages and the similar text line beginning the PUBLICATION HISTORY at the top of each page featuring writing or images.

Does this line of text prevent copying the images and work on this site? Of course not.

So, what is the purpose of that copyright notice, really? What does it actually mean for you?

Well, for the purposes of this web site the view is taken that the copyright notice provides a warning of impending legal action when a person claims authorship of the work or makes money off of said work.

What if you want to share a narrative or image without claiming authorship or selling it? If that is your desire, it is STRONGLY advised that you share only the actual web page link and not a copied image or work. This protects you from the consequence of illegal use by another person you may not even know but through whom it could be traced back to your e-mail address or physical printing of something from this web site.

So, in summation, feel free to copy an image (or narrative) for your own private pleasure but share that enjoyment by directing others to this web site rather than copying and sending out something that can be traced back to you … and your bank account.

For you see, beyond your own pleasure lays an expensively dangerous territory fraught with the perils of litigious copyright infringement law and attorneys––and beyond here, there may even be dragons!

This concludes the legal sermon. Amen.
