Content found on idgonemad.net is Copyright 2001-2012 by George Arthur Dodge IV (George A. Dodge, George Dodge) / "gadiv" except where expressly noted otherwise. All rights reserved on all art, creative works, writings, and ideas expressed. It is also to be understood that all content is credited to George Arthur Dodge IV (George A. Dodge, George Dodge, and other conceivable variations as they appear on this site) or gadiv (GADIV, Gadiv), all of which refer to the same person, be it in name or in initials, pseudonym, et cetera, except where expressly noted otherwise. Content may not be used by other parties without express written permission.

Also!

I understand that visitors are going to download my images - it is inevitable - and I condone only personal use of my material; I won't really care if you download something to wallpaper your computer or print out something to glue to your Trapper Keeper. However, I will care as soon as you try to use my stuff to make money (for any reason) or further your own agendas (whatever they may be) without my consent. Don't use my stuff on your website, on your newsletter, on your scene zine, anything public without contacting me first.

Additionally!

Do not modify the File Names of images in any way. File Names are composed of works' names and their copyright information; I have done this to clearly attribute those informations to the files instead of cluttering images with unsightly tags or watermarks. Modifying the File Names does not change my ownership, it just makes it trivially more difficult for me to find where my material has been posted elsewhere.

By the way!

Please do not screw me. God damn it, I don't have the time to be screwed or fight being screwed. If it comes to it, I will defend my content and take your ass to court.

Remember!

Under no circumstances will a work be allowable in a publication, for profit or non-profit, Jesus or Buddha, without my being contacted and the use being expressly permitted. I am talking an ink-and-paper communication, here. I can be reached via this fragment of a sentence for more information.

A Brief Word on How Copyright Works:
In many countries, and in particular the United States, a work becomes Copyrighted veritably by default, meaning that as soon as a work is created, it pretty much automatically becomes a Copyrighted work. This also means that, even if a person creates something and does not, forgets to, or neglects to expressly note his Copyright on a work, that the work is still Copyrighted. Further, Registering a Copyright with applicable Copyright Offices is not a requisite action to facilitate protection on a Copyrighted work - the registration mostly makes proving a work's copyright easier in court (but is required prior to an infringement suit) by virtue of there being an officially documented and dated registry, but the work was under protection the moment it was created. I, for instance, will be able to demonstrate that I created something at a particular date, will be able to register a copyright or usurp an illegal registry, and will be able to see an infringing user of my content in court.

More information on Copyright Law can be found at www.copyright.gov, the United States Copyright Office.
