• 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.

If I may, a criticism

I was looking for a basic copy of the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights. I went to the TFL library and clicked on the link to "Declaration of Independence, Articles, Constitution, and Bill of Rights".

I would challenge anyone to go to that link and quickly find versions of both documents as currently in force. Lots of historical analysis, lots of historical documents, lots of draft versions of documents, etc. No direct link to final versions that I could find.

How 'bout this link for the constitution: http://www.archives.gov/national_archives_experience/charters/constitution_transcript.html

And this one for the Bill of Rights: http://www.archives.gov/national_archives_experience/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html

By all means leave the link to the constitution.org site, but please add the above links for direct, simple access to the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
 
better?

I think "versions of the constitution" is the one area where the TFL library now surpasses the THR library. :)
 
I'm glad your problem was fixed, but unfortunately I'll still have to dispatch several large and humorless men to your home. Criticism of TFL is not allowed.



:D
