Compliance with DMCA and US Code No.107
Natural Homes is a not-for-profit educational
organisation. Our publications are made to provide educational
content that enable our readers to adopt practices which include
natural building and natural living skills. In that respect we
provide an educational support service via our
facebook groups. As such every publication on the Natural Homes
website and social media
pages complies with the
DMCA, 1998 and the Copyright Law of the United States of
America and Related Laws, Title 17:
Code § 107, 2011.
Republication of our work
If you would like to use an image from the
Natural Homes facebook page or any of its language pages [see
Products in
Basic info] or from the Natural Homes website, please contact
us at house@naturalhomes.org for permission. You can see an
example of an approved republication of our work on the
Low Impact Living Initiative's website.
Unless you contact us and we give explicit
permission to use our work then you do not have permission to
download images from this website removing the connection to the
originator of the work. You do not have permission to republish
images or image descriptions, the text of the associated article,
from this website or the Natural Homes social media sites even if
you link back to the original article or post by us.
Why do we use copyright protection?
Our goal is to reach a mainstream audience with our educational
message of sustainable natural living. We use written, picture,
video and audio assets and publication techniques to carry that
message to our audience. Some of the assets we use are
copyleft
protected, some are
copyright protected. All copyright and copyleft protected images are either given to us with permission
or are published under the DMCA and US Code No.107. As illustrated
above, our work can be republished but you must seek permission.
We ask this to leave us with the option to protect the assets
provided to us by the people we represent when an organisation or
individual republishes the work without proper attribution to the
originator. The inappropriate use of an asset from this website or
any of its social media site diminishes the efficacy of the asset
to carry the positive message of sustainable natural living.
Blocking AdBlockers
Activists who are claiming that javascript detection of Adblock
is “illegal” under section 5(3) of the EU Cookie law have
misrepresented the action of javascript (and browsers). Inline
scripts do not need to be “stored”, and neither receive nor
transmit stored user data. On top of that the exceptions to the EU
Cookie Law would seem to permit Adblock detection anyway as
advertising is “necessary to provide the service”. It should now
also be obvious that “information” about the users’ browser (even
by the broadest definition of “information”) is not required to
block Adblock.
