A quick question

I'd like to post some of my work here but I'm concerned about copyright and the rights to the work once it is posted.
Do I retain all rights to my work including reproduction rights if I post it here ?

Thanks Sozobe.
It sounds a bit restrictive to me and I've had copyright problems before.
Sorry dudes :wink: you won't be able to laugh at my prose. Razz

Your stuff's not any good unless someone tries to steal it.

Look around at some of the posts here.

Heliotrope,

Let me know what is too restrictive about the disclaimer and I'll alter it. Most sites (including hosts like geocities who have the right to do use ANY content you upload) have a more restrictive system.

What I had intended with this site is that we are granted the rights to display the posts on our network of sites, we don't intend to take your copyright or anything.

Let me know how the disclaimer needs to be altered and I'll consider changing it. I thought it was pretty clear that anything posted to the Original Art and Original Writing forums did not alter any copyright.

No worries, I'm just off to bed at the moment but I'll get back to you soon.
Thanks Craven, I appreciate it.

No problem. This site is currently run at a loss, it's not a cash cow or anything. There is no need or desire to take anyone's art or poetry. I'd like that to be reflected more clearly in the disclaimer as that was the original intent.
