    A Note About Copyright

    You will retain all rights to your work if they are published on this site and you will be given credit. It is not possible to copyright material that is not a copy, like a painting or original writing, although you always maintain ownership rights on which the copyright is based. Only published material can be copyrighted: that is, something that is copied like a book, poster, pamphlet, web site, radio broadcast, audio CD or some other distributed media. By placing your work on a webs site it exists in a format that can be copyrighted as part of this web site. Only the specific digital format (the particular distributed version) of your work can be copyrighted. By submitting material to www.davidberryart.com you give us limited rights to modify and use of your contribution only as part of www.davidberryart.com and any promotions related directly or indirectly to the site. Some rights are also extended to our web host, Yahoo!Geocities, who contractually may have limited rights to use posted material, but that is more of a legal technicality than practice.
    
    Limited Restrictions of Use By You
    
    Any specific version or modification of your contribution that may exist as part of our web site will be copyrighted 2002 by David Berry. If a previously copyrighted form is being used, then we will include your copyright notice. You do not have the right to make print-outs, copy the ".html" files or duplicate the version of your own work as it appears on this site. If you had your work on the same page as the work of another contributor, it would not be fair for you to make and distribute copies of their work without their permission. Simlarly, the elements of this site are created by and belong to us. The name, banner, format, design and other elements of the page on which your work appears are not owned by you, and you do not have the right to make copies of it without permission even though it contains your work.
    
    Under copyright law, you can make copies for your own use, but that does not mean that you can copy a web page on this site and post it on another without permission. That would be a form of distribution. However, you are free to place links to the web page with your work (or any other page) on other web sites, although we are under no obligation to maintain that page for any specific period of time. These limitations still allow you to do whatever you want with your work, as long as it does not include any other elements from our site.
    
    The copyright restrictions to you extend to everyone else and they are one way that we protect your rights as well as our own. Even so, we cannot be responsible or held liable for any illegal use of your work by other people that occurs as a result of your work appearing on our site. Remember, although the form in which it appears on this site is owned by us, all copyrights and ownership of the original work still belongs to you.
