About this site Introduction
I made this site to show some things that I've done, especially computer programs (all free) and also to share what I know, think, like or don't like with whoever might be interested. You won't find any cookies or advertisements here and everything can be accessed without JavaScript. I did write some programs in JavaScript, but they are all available for download (example), so you can run them offline, not necessarily with the same browser you use to access the internet. You should disable JavaScript when you access the internet.
Fair use
Below are an excerpt from a Romanian law, i.e. Art. 35, Law 8/1996-03-14 and its English translation.
(1) Sunt permise, fără consimțământul autorului și fără plata vreunei
remunerații, următoarele utilizări ale unei opere aduse anterior la cunoștința publică, cu condiția
ca acestea să fie conforme bunelor uzanțe, să nu contravină exploatării normale a operei și să nu
îl prejudicieze pe autor sau pe titularii drepturilor de utilizare:
[...]
b) utilizarea de scurte citate dintr-o operă, în scop de analiză, comentariu sau critică ori cu
titlu de exemplificare, în măsura în care folosirea lor justifică întinderea citatului;
[...]
d) reproducerea pentru informare și cercetare de scurte extrase din opere, în cadrul bibliotecilor,
muzeelor, filmotecilor, fonotecilor, arhivelor instituțiilor publice culturale sau științifice, care
funcționează fără scop lucrativ;
[...]
e) reproducerile specifice realizate de bibliotecile accesibile publicului, de instituțiile de
învățământ sau de muzee ori de către arhive, care nu sunt realizate în scopul obținerii unui avantaj
comercial sau economic, direct ori indirect;
[...]
b) the use of short quotes from a work, for the purpose of analysis, commentary or criticism or as an example, to the extent that their use justifies the length of the quote;
[...]
d) the reproduction for information and research of short extracts from works, within libraries, museums, film libraries, sound libraries, archives of public cultural or scientific institutions, which operate without profit;
[...]
e) specific reproductions made by libraries accessible to the public, educational institutions, museums or archives, which are not made for the purpose of obtaining a commercial or economic advantage, directly or indirectly;
This site is not made for the purpose of obtaining any commercial or economic advantage, it's accessible to the public and I think it can be, in principle, considered as much of an archive as archive.org, for instance. References for videos and images are in the titles of the download links or of the images, or included in the images, unless otherwise specified:
<a href="..." title="...">
<img src="..." title="...">
To find the source of a quotation, look above it for the closest or second closest link to a file stored on this site, usually archive.php
,
but it can also be a PDF file, an image or a video. The quote below is from the video above.
Both UK & US law allow for users to reproduce, distribute, or exhibit portions of
copyrighted books, motion pictures, video tapes, video discs, or digital files under certain circumstances
without authorization of the copyright holder.
This infringement of copyright is called "fair use" and is allowed for purposes of criticism, news
reporting, teaching and parody. Abusing the copyright system to stifle criticism is a criminal offence.
