Most of Dot's lamps I don't like.  They look clumsy.  And the pastel recolors on that one set were awful.  But I did like this last one.  I think it shows more effort to be honest.  The others usually strike me as "I throw premade shapes in my meshing program together and It be LAMP!"  And, those ones that looked like a footrest with an animal head on them were just... weird.  But this latest one actually looked like she was really trying. 

But, to each his or her own.  *shrugs*  I don't care if you like them or not, El Diablo.  Just as long as you don't break into my house and load my sims game with all her lamps.  Then, I'll be irritated.   

You can copyright your graphics and your text on a website, but you can't copyright methods of doing things or processes - like layouts and formatting, for instance. Copyright has to do with distribution rights, not creation. For instance, a computer users' manual will be copyright by the computer company, not by the technical writer(s) who actually did the work. That's because "work for hire" copyright goes to the employer/entity paying instead of the person who actually does the writing and graphics. It's also possible to sign over copyright to another party - various branches of publishing expect authors to retain copyright and others expect to have it signed over with (hopefully) additional wording that specifices the actual creator's right to be paid royalties on a work to which they no longer hold copyright. Current copyright law covers static works and doesn't translate well to dynamic works, which most websites are - they really need to come up with a method for attributing rights to dynamic works that isn't copyright or trademark or patent, since none of them apply entirely. Anyway, just as with the .package format, just because someone thinks they own something doesn't mean that they actually do.

As for your example, depending on the media source that fanfiction is based off of, you're talking about infringement on a copyright and/or trademark, and a fanfiction story can't be published for sale without the permission of those who hold the rights to what are presumably specific and identifiable characters. Obviously, though, the actual story portion isn't covered by those copyrights and trademarks, placing the work into a sort of limbo where all the plot, action and dialog are owned by one party, and the characters performing these actions and speaking the words are owned by another party. Change the names and whatever circumstances are necessary in that story, however, and you have magically removed the claims of all parties except the actual author, who then has copyright over the entire thing.

Fake edit: I see that your question is already answered. Have some redundancy! With a side of overkill!

Not "pretty" but great anyway.

Found this cool link for more versatile OMSPs

I did a couple of pages back - from coconut.  Here's the quote - it's not coming up on any searches for me either.  


Edit: Nouk it looks like that happened in July this year.

Plus with the maddisim fiasco,it's a good way to start 2009!
