Right …
Lets get down to the meat of this page, shall I?
Yes, lets.
Over the past few years, I’ve noticed the fact that copyright is an issue.
We can’t ignore it, in the blogging game.
But I also thought I’d restate my basic position, on the copyrighted material I put up: both as part of the Teasers, and any of the films or TV shows I choose to write about, here.
I’m no kind of legal expert.
I’m also aware that any bloggers use of copyrighted material is a complicated area to understand
However, to paraphrase the blurb I attach to any movie clips I post up … ?
