First, there is material that is biographical and doesn’t make any sense for anyone else to copy. Live your own life.

Second, there is material you could copy—maybe even without charge—if you asked me properly and I gave you prior permission. Send your inquiry by following my email link, specifying:
where you plan to reproduce it
who will see it (and how big this audience is)
And indicate your agreement with these conditions:
you will reproduce the item in its entirety without alteration of any kind
you will acknowledge my copyright in a fashion any idiot will understand
you will instruct your audience not to copy my work without obtaining my permission
you will only use it where and how you said you would
if it is a web-site, link to my main page
Depending on the use you propose, I may also set additional conditions and my permission depends on your acceptance of those as well.

Third, there is material that I would not give permission to copy. The only way to know the difference between this and the above is to ask me.

Fourth, there is material that I did not create and do not hold the copyright for, and its appearance on my pages is within the permitted uses allowed by the copyright holder. I cannot give you permission to use this material, so don’t copy any of this stuff. Assume that graphics may fall into this category.

Fifth, although I hope that this is an “empty category”, there may be material on my pages that I believe to be in the previous category but am mistaken. If you hold copyright for any image or material on my site and my use of your work does not meet with your conditions of permitted use, please notify me at your earliest convenience and I will immediately investigate and remedy any errors.

You are not authorized to copy or reproduce any articles on my site without prior written permission.

This copyright notice is not intended to discourage you from creating a link to my page(s) from your web site or bookmarking my site. However, if you create a link to my page(s), I’d appreciate if you would notify me immediately by email.
