As said, clays guides can still be found. I kept copies and I find them more helpful than anything else available. I've donated to clay as thanks. If the guides ever were for sale I would pay for them and tattoo them on my butt cheeks.
PinWiki is good, but it's just not as instructional as clays guide. No offense of course, they're both good resources!
Quoted from cody_chunn:Can he just post them back up though? That is my question. I heard there was some litigation or threats from others with lawyers, and there were actually issues with him posting them up again until edited. I have no idea on the accuracy of that though.
I’m hoping Clay can actually add some insight to this thread, I’m sure he’s read it by now.
Who cares either way? The guides are out there. Clay has a website for those that want more. No use rehashing all of this again.
Quoted from Patofnaud:Because people can be deeks. And even if person A 'said' they give you rights, you have no way of knowing they actually did even own the rights until you get a letter from person B's lawyer asking for restitution.
It ain't worth it. To many internet a-holes that never got enough hugs as a kid.
This is true. And because of a fabulous thing we have in America called the DMCA, anyone that takes the time to fill out a simple form can pretty easily cause a lot of grief for a small website operator. Service providers are obligated to act on all DMCA complaints, and it is most often easiest for them to "shoot first" in the direction of the website operator in order to insulate themselves from liability and expense.
Quoted from Blackbeard:I'm no intellectual property attorney, but I think linking someone to the guides online is fine. It's the printing and selling that would be a no-no. I could be wrong.
If you search around online, you'll find the guides.
Lookup contributory copyright infringement.
Quoted from Blackbeard:I give up. You guys win.
We all win when we understand how the law works! Especially laws pertaining to the Internet since things like DMCA and Net Neutrality will have long term effects on our economy and liberties going forward. Cheers.
