== Equilibrium and copyright == | |||
Hiya :) Hate to be a downer with my very first communication with you regarding your very first edit, but it's important to explain some fundamentals about this site. We will '''absolutely not''' be allowing a page on ''Equilibrium''. It is, at this point, "fan fic by a published author". That means it's in violation of [[T:NO FANFIC]]. | |||
Also, we '''do not tolerate''' the use of our site as a conduit for transmitting materials over which you do not personally have copyright. Just because a work was rejected by the BBC does not then mean that it is "copyright free". [[Simon A. Forward]] still retains copyright over ''Equilibrium'', and it is a violation of his copyright interests to just pass on the work to others. But it's important to realise that he himself does not enjoy full liberty to release the work, since it doubtless involves ''characters'' over which he has no copyright. So he's left with situations and ''some'' characters that he owns, mixed in with characters and maybe some concepts, that he does not. In other words, he has a work he does not fully own. | |||
But he still has some hope of using the material, since the BBC have started publishing past Doctor books again. Or he might be able to repurpose the situations in the books for an future Doctor. In any case, this wiki cannot be party to sharing the body of the original text of ''Equilibrium''. Additionally, your solicitation of emails is a little worrying, as some of our users may be young and under the age where they can legally give an email. And certainly older users would be fairly silly to give their email addresses in an insecure environment like a forum thread. | |||
Please do not speak of ''Equilibrium'' on this wiki again, in any context. It is not a thing this wiki covers or is interested in. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 16:50: Fri 04 Oct 2013</span> | |||
