The 10 Myths of Copyrights

Tuesday, June 13th, 2006

CopyrightBrad Templeton has a great article on the ten myths of copyrights. As an artist I found this to be at the least entertaining.

“If it doesn’t have a copyright notice, it’s not copyrighted.”
This was true in the past, but today almost all major nations follow the Berne copyright convention. For example, in the USA, almost everything created privately and originally after April 1, 1989 is copyrighted and protected whether it has a notice or not. The default you should assume for other people’s works is that they are copyrighted and may not be copied unless you know otherwise. There are some old works that lost protection without notice, but frankly you should not risk it unless you know for sure.

How to soothe a sun burn

Thursday, June 8th, 2006

Summer TipsIts summer time and if your fair skinned its sun burn time too. Take a old tube sock or equivalent and fill it with oatmeal (Not Instant). Fill up your bathtub with water (should be comfortably warm) . Place the sock with the oatmeal in the water and submerge it. After soaking for 30 – 40 minutes rinse with cool water.

Oatmeal: The oats soothes itching, Beard says. Make an oatmeal mask and let it sit on your face for five minutes if you have a little sunburn or sunkissed face. Then rinse with cold water. Beard says the process takes away the flushed look, and it is perfect for when you’re uncomfortable from the sun.
