I HAVE MADE AN EFFORT TO FAMILIARIZE MYSELF WITH THE USE OF COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL. I DESIRED TO USE FACSIMILES OF OLD PHOTOGRAPHS IN MY WEB PAGES TO ILLUSTRATE WHAT IT WAS I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

IT IS WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT ALL PUBLISHED WORKS PRIOR TO 1923 ARE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN THAT I USE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS. I GLEANED THIS INFORMATION FROM THE FOLLOWING TWO SOURSES:

1.) I HAVE MADE EVERY EFFORT TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE CREDIT IS DUE.

2.) I DESIRE TO BE PROUD OF MY PAGE. I DO NOT BELIEVE ONE CAN BE PROUD OF BEING A THIEF SO IF CREDIT IS NOT GIVEN FOR SOMETHING THAN I THOUGHT IT TO BE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

3.) EVEN WHERE SOMETHING IS CLEARLY IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN BECAUSE IT WAS STATED SO BY THE AUTHOR I HAVE STROVE TO GIVE CREDIT FOR THEIR WORK.

4.) IF YOU DESERVE CREDIT FOR SOMETHING ON THIS PAGE AND I DID NOT GIVE IT LET ME KNOW AND I WILL GIVE IT. IF THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU THAN I WILL REMOVE IT PROMPTLY.

5.) DON'T SUE ME. I AM NOT RICH AND YOU WON'T COME TO BE RICH BY SUEING ME IF YOU FEEL LIKE I HAVE WRONGED YOU BY MY USING SOMETHING FOR WHICH YOU DESERVE CREDIT AND DID NOT GET, OR PERMISSION TO USE THE ITEM FROM YOU I DID NOT GET. GET IT?

6.) HERE IS WHERE I DISCLAIM ANYTHING ELSE EITHER YOU OR I CAN THINK OF AT ANY TIME NOW OR IN THE FUTURE THAT NEEDS TO BE DISCLAIMED OR THAT CAUSES OFFENCE RESULTING IN A DISCLAIMER.

7.) ENJOY THE PAGE, LOVE THE WEST, HAVE FUN, READ BOOKS, WATCH MOVIES ABOUT LOVING THE WEST, HAVING FUN, AND READING BOOKS, DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU... ETC, SO ON AND SO FORTH.
