What content from the web sites can I use? You
are very welcome and encouraged to view and enjoy the web site's
content as it is presented in its original format (online)
within the web site. After all, most web sites are created for
public use, advertising, and information! You can view the
images. You can print it for your own personal reference, but
you may not redistribute any part of the web site in any
media form, or use any part for commercial purposes. 'Contents' of the web site
including written text, images, html markup, scripting, and supporting text or image
files, are not to be re-used, duplicated, edited, decompiled,
stored or transferred in any media format (digital, printed, or
other) without express written permission from the respective
copyright and/or trademark holder(s). This includes unauthorized
linking-to of the web site's files online.

But is it all right to borrow text I might find useful if I change it
around for my own purposes? No. When I went to school it was called
plagiarism. (It still is.) If it didn't come out of your head - from your
original thought processes - or you didn't get permission to use it - it
isn't yours to edit and use. There have been several instances where
HTML code, copy, and/or images from Equine Web Design and sites
designed by Equine Web Design has been used (even verbatim) to advertise other
equine designer's web sites or within the code of their web pages.
Can you believe it? |

I like this copyright statement, and the
copyright notices in Equine Web Design's HTML code. Can I use
some of it for my own site? You have to be kidding, right?
Go back and read this over and over until you don't need to ask that
any more. <G>

What happens if someone uses [Equine Web
Design's] copywritten work without permission? First,
they're off our Christmas card list for good. Next, they are
asked to immediately remove any and all code, images,
text, and content they have used without permission. In such
case, if the material is being used on another web site,
the 'offender's' web hosting provider may be notified that their
hosted account is violating copy rights and/or committing trademark
infringements, and asked to help enforce the removal of the
prohibited material. We habitually forward all copyright
violations to an attorney, should further action be necessary.
And, no, we aren't particularly polite about it. We have always posted a
very clear copyright statement on our site(s), and/or a link to our
copyright statement on sites we have designed, as well as in the HTML
code.

Where's your 'old' copyright statement? It
made me laugh. Oh, you mean
this one?
