Before you think of taking the images or text on this
website to use on another site kindly read the text below:
A user copying text or pictures from this web site and then
posting the material among the user's own web pages is infringing our
copyright. Even if the user makes some changes before posting the material,
the act of posting is copyright infringement.
Aside from legal implications of copyright infringement,
reposting of material from other web sites can be an inconvenience to other
users. The author may revise the original document frequently, but copies
posted by other users will not be revised (indeed, the author may not know
of the existence of these copies). The easiest way for everyone on the
Internet to have the freshest information is to have only the author post
the document. Other people can post a hypertext link to the author's
document, to refer their readers to the most recent version of the document
at the author's site.
Copying illustrations or diagrams or photographs (e.g.,
scanning a printed image or copying a GIF or JPEG file) always requires
permission of the copyright owner.
Posting a document on the world wide web is a "public
display" of the work, which is among the rights exclusively reserved to
the owner of the copyrighted work.
The law requires that the author of a web site, book, etc.
ask permission of the copyright owner before displaying any copyrighted
work. The burden is on the copier to ask permission. It is not the
duty of the copyright owner to cruise the Internet and ask authors to stop
infringing a copyright. In fact, the copyright owner will file copyright
infringement litigation immediately on discovering the unauthorized use of
copyrighted material.
Thank You
