NEW UPLOADING / COPYRIGHT RULES PLEASE READ!

Edited by Heidegger, 12/11/2002

Someone uploaded Abbies Pictures which are marked private/paid pictures, not public domain. DonnyG and Bojay, who created the Abbie images for a paid website, have been strong supporters of AR imagery and we owe them the respect to not post their images to this archive (or anywhere else for that matter) without permission. This applies to work by any individual artist out there.

Please note the following rules:
(1) The artist's pictures you upload must be either owned by you or you should have the artist's permission.

(2) If you are going to submit a DonnyG or Bojay image: Was this image commissioned and paid for by you? If it was, go ahead and post it. If not, was it a public domain image? A public domain image is one that Donny posted the image or link on the discussion board. If you got an image from someone else's site, ask them about where they got it and whether you can post it here or not - obviously if they grabbed it from some other site or don't know where they got it then their permission is worthless. Finally, if you are not sure, you can post it into the Image Gallery album for submissions and inform Heidegger. From now on, DonnyG and Bojay images will be screened.

(3) Uploading of stories. If you are sharing someone else's story and are unsure of permission to post it, mark this at the top of the story. This Archive has permission from many authors to post stories.

Of course if you upload YOUR OWN CREATION either PICTURE or STORY then you own the content and can do as you wish with it.
