Fair Use Notice
Some pages in the ldsglo.com website may contain copyrighted © material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner. Such material is made available for educational purposes, to advance understanding of human rights, democracy, scientific, moral, ethical, and social justice issues, etc. It is believed that this constitutes a 'fair use' of any such copyrighted material as provided for in Title 17 U.S.C. section 107 of the US Copyright Law. This material is distributed without profit and the information is distributed for education purposes only. Beyond this, the nature of the material, and the limited amount of material used, should not have an effect on the potential market value of the work.

This Site likewise abides by the DMCA Title II, the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act ("OCILLA"), which creates a safe harbor for online service providers (OSPs, including ISPs) against copyright liability if they adhere to and qualify for certain prescribed safe harbor guidelines and promptly block access to allegedly infringing material (or remove such material from their systems) if they receive a notification claiming infringement from a copyright holder or the copyright holder's agent. OCILLA also includes a counter-notification provision that offers OSPs a safe harbor from liability to their users upon notice from such users claiming that the material in question is not, in fact, infringing.

Each individual is responsible for what each individual posts, but in cooperation the the DCMA and OCILLA we will upon notification, immediately remove any material found to be in violation of a copyright provision.
