Copywrite and Fair Use

The information on this site is not to be copied, transferred or changed in any way without express permission of the owners/managers. Please feel free to link to us.

Much information is copywrited and while we have been granted permission to use it on this site, we do not have permission to transfer that permission to others. Some articles we exercise the fair use for this nonprofit educational site. We make absolutely not money from anyone's writings. They are totally used to help educate the public of the horrors facing children in America today.

However, we do respect the authors and for any author we have not secured private permission from please make us aware and we will comply with your wishes. We make every effect to contact those we can identify a source to usually prior to using the information. However, when an author has included a link to email or print the article or states one is free to copy than we feel that is open permission and fair use and we offer our thanks. By all of us working together, we can help the children.

If you have a website to fight against child abuse and would like us to have a link for your site, than please send us the information. We will check it out and if appropriate put on a link. We will not link to sites advertising items for sale.

If anyone would like to write for us than please let us know. We do not pay for articles. We are prochild.

§ 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.
