vivek asks me to send a clarification on age-limit for contributing stuff to creativedot.
from what i understand, if you are 18 years and above, you can register and contribute creative authored works to the site. all this only because at 18 and above you can be legally held responsible for any legal violations you commit with copyrighted material, and/or plagarism, and/or other laws and cyberlaws, which are directly or indirectly related with contributing stuff to creativedot. so if you are under 18 and wanna contribute, you'll need a legal guardian to stand in for you, or take legal responsiblity for all your actions. IANAL, so the community can best answer how to implement this gracefully. another thing. creativity knows no age-limit. i know my pre-teen nephew composes his own poems. i wonder if according to the law of the land, he can copyright these in his own name. he should be, right? uff! i just realized we'll instantly have dozens of ilug-d IANAL-posters who will hold a never-ending discussion on this on the mailing list. what we need is somebody who knows the actual letter and word of the law and volunteers to share with us how to do this right. :-) niyam _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
