Copyright restrictions

The pictures found at this site have been provided by the contributing artists who kindly gave me permission to show them.

Copyright and all rights therein are maintained by the artists, notwithstanding that they have offered their works here electronically. It is understood that persons copying this information will adhere to the terms and constraints invoked by each author's copyright. These works may not be reposted without the explicit permission of the copyright holder.

The fact that a picture has been published at the Heroes' & Villains Lorebook and posted on the Internet is in itself a clear message that the artist wants the pictures to be seen, and that he or she is not interested in collecting a toll each time someone takes a look at it.

However, this does not mean that ordinary copyright concepts have ceased to apply - there is still someone who has the copyright to the work. Note, that the Heroes' & Villains Lorebook itself is never the copyright holder; it only benefits from a non-withdrawable but also non-transferable "permission to publish". Instead, it is either the original author(s) or a conventional publisher who is the copyright holder. Please respect their rights, and abide by the following natural rules.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is always permitted:

  • To view the Heroes' & Villains' Lorebook pictures on-line, without restrictions.
  • To make single printouts, or save pictures to a local harddisc for your own personal use. You may of course not sell or redistribute these pictures in any way.
  • The current copyright holder is indicated just below every displayed picture, and the email address is found on the personal cover page for each artist.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The following you can never do, unless you get permission:

  • To sell copies of the pictures (that is, to hand it over against payment)
  • To include or use the pictures on any webpage, guestbook, chatroom or in a book or journal that is to be printed.
  • To post or distribute a modified version of the pictures.
  • To use whole or parts of the pictures, in any way, with or without your own modifications, while pretending that it is your own or someone else's work.
  • To use the pictures in any other way, a written agreement from the artist is needed. (often, this consent isn't too hard to obtain if you just try.)
  • To obtain such permission, please apply to the copyright holder as defined in the previous section.
