Please Respect Our Copyrights

Category: Announcements || By Jason Togyer

All articles, images, cartoons and audio files on Tube City Online (www.tubecityonline.com) are copyrighted to Tube City Community Media Inc. unless otherwise noted.

We encourage you to share, comment, complain or criticize anything on Tube City Almanac or any of our webpages using your own blogs or websites.

But please do not "cut and paste" an entire article or lift a photo without permission. Quote the information you want to quote, and then provide a link back to the correct page on www.tubecityonline.com.

There are several reasons. First, cutting and pasting something by me, Denise, Jenni, Jennifer or John is stealing. Second, the only way we get income and revenue to operate this website is through advertising.

Our advertising income is minimal --- less than a dollar per day --- but it's the only thing enabling us to pay contributors. If you steal an entire article or photo, people don't click here, and it doesn't count toward a page view. So please, stop it. Thanks.

UPDATE: As someone said on Facebook, "Yeah, good luck with that." I know this is like trying to bail out the ocean with a leaky bucket, but I'm getting a little tired of people lifting things without even a link back to the proper page.
