• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

But she was just busted and is looking for any excuse. Don't let her use you as a deflection. I bet the handbook is on that page in her lap right now. Chapter 3: Deflection.
 
That would really be the reasons I am mad, I just thought it was silly that you asked me to take pictures of geckos I NOW OWN off of my FB, not mad at all def. just surprised. Anyway do you remember the exchanged emails back and forth after the transaction??? Probably not, but I do. I also remember telling you, you would be right here where you are now one day! Thank You

HAHAHA I am sure you are right. For the record though everyone, this deflection of hers consists of her seeing her "for sale picture" of what are now MY geckos on MY facebook after the sale. There was no copyright. Just for our customers sake I wanted to clear that up:) Thank You

These accusations are baseless without proof.

Look man I am just going to stop now then, these accusations only were said because she started in on me. See we decided not to start a BOI on her ourselves because thankfully we got everything ok and I knew the geckos were bred way too soon! It is the simple fact that if she wants to start in on me I will def bring it up proof or not proof. If you are saying I need proof to say she doesnt care about her animals after you have read this whole BOI then oh well I didnt really want to get this involved. Thank You
 
I might need proof if I had started the thread, but like I said we got over it I just wanted to get my geckos out of her hands so I could properly take care of them. Thank You

Using a picture taken by someone else without their permission is a copyright violation. It doesn't matter if you own the item in the picture, the person that took the picture automatically has copyright for the picture. It doesn't matter if it has a copyright symbol or not.

Q. Who owns the copyright?

A. Generally, the person who creates a work is the owner of the copyright. Thus, independent artists, photographers and writers own the copyrights to their works. The only exceptions to this rule occur when a work is created by an employee as part of his or her job duties or when a work is created under a written ìwork-for-hireî agreement.

For example, free-lance photographers own the copyrights to the images that they allow to newspapers or magazines to publish. However, absent an agreement that provides otherwise, a newspaper or magazine will own the copyright to all works that their staff journalists and photographers create as part of their job responsibilities. The same is true for art directors working in advertising agencies. The only way that the copyright could belong to the creator in these situations is if there is an assignment of the copyright. Of course, any stories, photographs or artwork created by employees on their own time, would belong to the authors of the works.

Sometimes it is difficult to differentiate between an independent contractor and an employee as that term is defined by the Copyright Act. Most employment situations imply a regular, salaried employment relationship between the parties. However, there is no precise standard for determining whether a person is an employee or an independent contractor under the Copyright Act. A person can be an independent contractor under state law while he or she is an employee under the Copyright Act.

The copyrights to works created under written agreements as works for hire belong to the employer. The law requires that there is a written agreement between the parties. Unfortunately, work for hire agreements can be very simple documents that masquerade as invoices or receipts. Most independent artists, photographers and writers will not operate on a work for hire basis. They feel that to do so, would deprive them of their right to fully exploit their creative talents. Also, they feel they will be treated as employees without having job security or getting any employee benefits.
