Legal Disclaimer

Hey everybody,

I talked to Johan and Ina today about using "Legal Disclaimers" (Haftungsausschluß) on the blogs. The reason for that is pretty simple; we work with a lot of copyrighted material (e.g. sound samples, entire songs, graphics, etc.) and although our status as a student grants us creative freedom, publishing these things on the internet is still some kind of risk.

Now a friend of mine just got sued (the second time around I think) and had to pay a sh*tload of money because he used something copyright-protected on his private homepage without contacting GEMA or whoever is responsible for giving away these rights.

The text is an internationally used standardized disclaimer concerning the responsibility of the blog's author (us) when it comes to

- the consistency of information on the blog
- copyright issues
- the content of posted links
- overall it might take away one or two risks

It is supposed to be an integral part of the homepage (thus no "disclaimer-button" and then you get there), it is supposed to be on display all the time.

I've created and flashed a couple of disclaimers for everybody to use. If you wanna create one on your own, feel free to do so - the disclaimer text can easily be found on the internet.

otherwise, here are the swf-files. Just embed them in your blog layout (main bar at the bottom, I've made them 660x75) and you should be fine. You can either embed the files I already uploaded via FTP or you can download them and - well upload them yourself again if you feel like it. therefore just rightklick the link and choose "save as..." or "speichern unter..." or whatever.

Other than that I enjoy LMAO watching motivational posters. A few months ago this internethype kicked in and - though a lot of the stuff is just plain stupid - I really enjoy one or another. good inspiration as well :)
