Copyright laws have not kept up with the realities of today's Internet technology. I am a strong proponent of a free exchange of information and unlimited free speech in cyberspace.

From time to time, I post materials which I have obtained on the web or from other sources. Although I make reasonable efforts to ask for permission, this is not always practical. In these cases, I operate under the "fair use" presumption. In good faith, I make every reasonable effort to give proper credit to whomever I presume to be the copyright holder. If possible, I establish links to relevant web sites.

If you claim copyrights to any of the material used and object to my usage of your material, please let me know. This is a non-commercial site and I do not pay fees to anyone. However, on your request, I will remove your work immediately.

I have the same policy with regard to the material I myself create and publish on this site. You are free to reproduce portions of it on your site, but please credit my name and establish a link back to my site.
