Even though I dislike having to put any kind of legalese around on the site, it appears some people never understand the copyright concept. I've got some strong feelings on copyright in particular about what seems to be unreasonable duration, and some of which I won't publish here simply because it leads to argument and philosophical debate that doesn't change the existing law. The law is in place like it or not, the protections exist and will be applied as written. Copyright Notice Except where noted specifically as owned by other parties, the following notice applies to the entire Private Wars and Kyth Interstellar site. Specific company or personal Logos as mentioned belong to those parties. Some trademarks may apply where ™ is displayed with the logo, footnotes at bottom of the page these are used may be present.

Some resources for learning about copyright law: U.S. Copyright Office - Games (specifics of copyright application to games) Brad Templeton's 10 Big Myths about Copyright Explained Oregon State's Multimedia Copyright Information Page (contains interesting info and links) Richard Keyt's Copyright Law page Patents, Trademarks & Copyright at National Paralegal College Joel Miller at Admedia on Copyright, Patent & Trademark There are many other resources to go to on the internet for information about copyright law and how it applies in a modern age with ease of copying greatly facilitated by technology. A quick google search will turn up many sites with a wealth of detail. Ultimately, if you have a legal question about copyright you need to engage a lawyer for any help. I'm by no means qualified to offer legal advice to anyone else, so get qualified, trained help if you are looking for help.
