These articles concern what we consider major trademark and copyright issues. They are usually reproduced with the original source referenced. Bear in mind, these articles are copyrighted and commercial use without permission of the authors may be considered infringement. The intended use here is educational, commentary and non-commercial. The reason they are reproduced in the Tabberone™ Archives, as opposed to just providing a link, is because links disappear and pages are removed. That presents a messy confirmation process that is annoying to the browser (you) but also presents a credibility issue. We do not claim any rights in these pieces. Do not regard the absence of a copyright statement or © to mean the article is not copyrighted. Some sites do not have a copyright statement.

When an article or a comment is posted on the internet by the copyright owner, the owner is seeking a world-wide, 24/7 audience; sometimes for a limited amount of time, sometimes indefinitely. In essence, an internet posting intentionally relinquishes one's copyright for exclusivity because the owner has posted it on the internet to been seen by everyone, everywhere. The Tabberone™ Archives non-commercial duplication of the posting is simply a continuance of the original wishes of the copyright owner. We post these articles for reference, for commentary and for confirmarion of our position.

I have been a visitor to Filmtracks.com since 1996, and I cannot believe the amount of disrespect shown by Fox towards this site.

The lawyer is probably some hot shot intellectual rights bloodhound who makes a living by pissing people off and making legal threats. These stupid people don't know when they really don't have a case.

Fans of Filmtracks.com should write to this "Wilson" attorney/character and raise all hell against him for making these threats:

Dennis L. Wilson
Keats McFarland & Wilson LLP
9720 Wilshire Blvd.
Penthouse Suite
Beverly Hills, CA 90212

I'm going to start my letter to him right away.
