VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997.

We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

I would like to talk about the myth that says: "My posting was just fair use". Fair Use was added to allow things such as commentary, parody, news reporting, research and education about copyrighted works without the permission of the author. "Facts and ideas can't be copyrighted, but their expression and structure can. You can always write the facts in your own words". Fair Use does not mean you can use someone else's entire work, but you can refer to it in the above ways.
