Re: Obtaining Copyrights

We aren't concerned with other teams using information from our site. That is what we are here for. If I see a quote on another team's site that I wrote and posted on ours, I won't mind. However, if our official S.P.A.M. logo, for example, was found on the SPAM website (as in spam the meat) I would be mad and would kindly ask them to remove it. Actually, I would probably discuss it with my team first, but the copyright might protect us.

I also think that copyrights help to clarify who owns the information and the site. Our old site was not just copyrighted by our team (similar to chiefdelphi's copyright naming delphi) and so we had a possibility of conflict over who owned what. Therefore, I would like to use a copyright to clarify who actually owns the website and its contents and to show that we claim responsibility for its content, unless some page or item is labelled otherwise.
