goodnight all hope things workout! :winkwink:

So Do I ...Doofus should donate 500 bucks for starting this thread

You say he is getting $.25 a post, I don't know, and I don't care. However, 750 posts means he is paying $30 not $10 you stupid shit.

:thumbsup

Not looking to piss you off at all but I got a couple of questions.
to me this just sounds like your jelluse.
how much gets donated in the "official" thread ?
and just wandering. what makes it offical ?

Baddogs and todd are takign donations ... there has probably been 6k $ given away so far

I think it is closer to $8k by now

Exactly...my complaint wasn't about 10 bucks..it was about non payment and closing the thread AFTER he made 300 posts in the thread...which should be atleast 30 measly bucks to a great cause...I feel great remorse for Sarah but not for weasels taking advantage of her situation

Get on the front page . Let's pay this mess together since you are a great part of it and you feal like it needs to be paid .

You are new, so here is a tip . . .Lee is an idiot, adding him to your ignore list early on would probably be a good idea , , , and welcome to GFY

What non-payment are you talking about? He was asked to let the thread die because of you and Lee. He did not do it on his own.

By the way . . . . http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/showth...adid=394527&s= . . put up or shut up

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...adid=394527&s=


Let's play now spunky :) You claim I don't have money ... actually I do, and probably a lot more then you do .

200 $ is almost nothing ... I'm sure you big player can come up with that ?

You made this contest close ... so just come up and pay up :)

people let this thread either go back to normal or die off, there's a chick in mourning and y'all going back and forth like broads...sad..sad.. you think she wants' to see this shit when/if she sign on

Exactly why I closed it and apologized to her on icq (not because of whatever spunky is claming, because it's creating DRAMA arround an even that's already very uncool)

I think you just described yourself... creating this big drama which not only took money away from Sarah which may be needed in the tough times ahead, you're stealing attention and directing it toward yourself.

Good job.

is it closed now?

Unless Sarah tells me to reopen it, yes it is .

I offered spunky pay up a part of the money that could have been earned with me ...

:thumbsup

thanks baddog for the info, I kinda gathered that. LOL

DrDre, cool run though.

bump

230 $ sent to Sarah from my side . Spunky is supposed to have sent 400 $ . we'll see

pretty fucking scummy to try to capitalize on her loss like that :2 cents:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

What did I get out of it ? except paypaling her 230 $ for a closed thread ?

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...adid=394527&s=

spunky said he sent money with me . he said he doubled my ammount

But he didn't . Neither baddog or todd have seen a bit of that money yet

See who was calling me out and stuff ? well here's what his words are worth

Thread re-opened. Whore away

AND PLEASE don't talk about what happened

BUMP for Sarah :thumbsup

Lee

Yahoo! This rocks!

Lee hit me up ... please :0

Martin,

Things You Might Like to Know about Copyrights

by Jan K., The Proofer

You may be under the false impression that before you can get your text published, you must ?get the copyright? to your own written material. You might also think that in order to get the copyright, you must ?apply? for it. This is just not so. In the following few paragraphs, I?ll give you some simple facts about copyrights that may help you in your quest to get published.

First, it is important to understand that you cannot ?copyright? an idea; you can only copyright what you have written. That is, you might have just written the greatest self-help manual on how to breed guppies. And you did, indeed, file for your copyright with the Library of Congress. Three weeks after completing the formal copyrighting process, you find out that the manager of your neighborhood pet store (where you?ve been buying your guppies) has just sold the TV rights to a new hit show ?Breeding Guppies? and he is using many of the same principles that you?ve outlined in your manual on how to go about guppy breeding.

So, naturally, since this is the 21st Century and you live in America, you want to sue the guy. You think you have a sure thing, and you are dreaming of the million-dollar award that the jury is sure to give you. But?you?d better not put a down payment on that Guppy Farm in Iowa just yet.

The manual you wrote, the exact words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, and chapters that you wrote, belong to you. It is illegal for anyone to reproduce or use any of that text, in part or in whole, for profit without your permission. However, you must be able to prove that your exact words have been stolen before you can get an award for copyright infringement. So, you know that guy with his hit TV series? Well, unless he?s reading from your manual word-for-word, or attempting to sell your manual as a supplemental text that he?s written, then he?s probably doing nothing illegal. He?s just using the idea of breeding guppies.

You do ?own? the copyright to your text, all its words and clever phrases. And you don?t even have to file with the Library of Congress in order to have the copyright on your text. The copyright is conferred upon you the minute you write your New York Times Bestseller. All you have to do is be able to prove, beyond any doubt, the date that you wrote the material. For your protection, then, it is wise to print and date your material, and establish with a third party through a written communication that you have just finished your text. At that time, you can legally affix the copyright symbol (the letter c inside a circle) to your work.

bump

Now here?s where a formal copyright comes in. By filing with the Library of Congress (and paying them their required application fee), you can establish definitively a date of copyright that will stand up in any court of law. Any judge or jury will defer to your date over someone else who can merely claim by word of mouth that his text came before yours. It?s a good idea to formally copyright any text that you are planning to market. So, if you?re convinced that the world population-at-large is in desperate need of ?Breeding Guppies, What Every Ichthyologist Needs to Know? and you plan to sell it on eBay for $19.95, you should apply for a formal copyright.

Just having the copyright, however, doesn?t mean that other people can?t quote your work. They may do so, as long as you are given full credit for having written it prior to their use. This is called a ?reference? or a ?citation? and generally, whatever passage is being quoted will appear offset in quotation marks (so that the reader can visualize which words belong to someone other than the author of the text in which the quote appears). Of course, at present the contingent of Copyright Police is not up to tracking down every single instance of copyright infringement, and chances are that not everyone cites original authors as scrupulously as they should, so beware of whom you casually let look at or read your text (or to whom you give a copy).

Woah some major copy paste going on

Copyrights are not forever. Typically, a copyright lasts for 50 years past the natural life of the original author. Authors? heirs may sometimes re-apply for copyrights, but generally written texts that are this old are considered ?public domain? and may be reproduced without paying the author?s family a royalty fee.

In the publishing world, you will find that many publications require that you relinquish your copyrights to the work in return for having your work published. This is a fairly standard procedure?unless your name happens to be Stephen King or Danielle Steele. Once you?ve relinquished your copyright to a given work, you can not sell or submit that text again unless you get express approval from the publisher that now owns the copyright.

I had no idea about that

hehe.. I hope you're reading it, it's good stuff..

There are sites on the World Wide Web where you can post your work for others to read or use as they see fit, so-called ?free content sites.? In cases such as this, there should be a disclaimer that anyone who uses or reproduces your work must give you full credit. Whether this happens all the time is certainly a matter for some speculation, but your safeguard is that you own the copyright and if you find that someone is profiting from your work and that you have not been compensated, you can file a copyright infringement suit against them.

Anyways let's hit that 26k today !!!

As of the date of this article, the current copyright fee is $30. All the instructions and necessary forms can be found on U.S. Copyright Office?s web site: http://lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/. I have copyrighted several texts and advise that you mail your application with a ?Return Receipt Requested? or ?Delivery confirmation? from the U.S. Post Office. This is your proof that the Copyright Office has received your copyright application.
