Foreword

asdf

The internet is a public space, (or at least one open to the public), and it is common knowledge that items here have been copied and distributed without the informed consent of their authors. . This offers risk and reward to both parties.

For the artist, particularly a little known one, such as myself, copying is publicity -- provided proper credit is made. . But even with proper credit, copying in a free medium can dry up an artist's income stream.

The viewer has the advantage of free access to the work of a variety of people. . However if those people cannot support themselves, the quality of art suffers. . The internet community has the option, (not legal, but for practical purposes not enforceable), of free-copying from all at will. . Although this pisses off the big labels no end. . . Ultimately, it will favor those artists with corporate backing.

To sum up the paragraphs below, (in non-binding language), I am releasing basic non-commercial rights, while reserving commercial ones. .If you wish to make money from my work, contact me.

The fine print...

Trademark Notice

The following are being used as marks in trade:

  • The "Falling man and Phoenix" design -- (visible at the top of the home page).
  • The "No longer Michael" design -- (shown on many pages, including predictably, the "No longer Michael" page).

I ask all to respect that and to make no commercial use of same. .All commercial, cover and adaptation rights to these are reserved.

For a long time I had trademark registration pending on the "No longer Michael" name itself. .This has lapsed, and I will probably not re-apply. .If you honestly believe yourself to be a "No longer Michael", by any route, then I will patient with your enigma, if you will with mine -- for I still use the name in trade -- (see the title of the website).

  • I will accept your trade use of "No longer Michael" (X); if you accept my continued trade use of "No longer Michael" (Young).

At various places in the site I state that trademark registration is pending on "No longer Michael". .That was true at the time. .Such statements will be removed as the site is updated.
