• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

A suggestion w/ regard to the library...

Would it be possible that a few more legal decisions/briefs/papers/etc could be added to the library?

In addition to the link on US vs. Miller, I think it would be tres cool if there were also links to court decisions for Emerson, Haney, and Stewart.

Whaddya think?
:)
 
Rich-

I'll do some poking around on the web in the next couple of days and see what I can come up with.
Ideally the link will have not only the text of the actual legal documentation, but a translation into regular English as well.
Diagrams, pictures, and wild gesticulation with sound effects couldn't hurt either, but that might just be my short attention span kicking in.;)
 
Actually, I mispoke. Will need more than the links, as links get broken. I need any documents submitted as HTML. There's help to be had around here on that.
