Copyright ethos & intentions

A lot of the con­tent of this site builds on the work of oth­ers. In some cases con­tent is news-like and is based entirely on the work of oth­ers, but is described here in our own con­text. In these cases we have cred­ited the ori­gin­al source and provided a link to the source in the art­icle. We would prefer not to have any of our con­tent copied, and instead have it linked to, but if you do feel the need to pub­lish con­tent that you have sourced from us please provide a rel­ev­ant and appro­pri­ately placed link back to the ori­gin­al art­icle. Our aim is to help the com­munity, but the web­host­ing does­n’t pay for itself; con­sequently we are try­ing to strike a bal­ance between shar­ing inform­a­tion as broadly as pos­sible, whilst ensur­ing people have access to the ori­gin­al care­fully-writ­ten con­tent on this site.

Hotlinks

We respect­fully request that people don’t hot­link to our down­loads. In most cases there are rel­ev­ant art­icles which accom­pany them which would be more appro­pri­ate to link to, or altern­at­ively there is the down­loads page. We believe it is good neigh­bour­li­ness to provide links to sites that have been help­ful. Thanks.

AI

At present the world of AI is not well reg­u­lated, open, or account­able. Until such time as that sig­ni­fic­antly changes our con­tent may not be used for any AI sys­tems. Con­tent may not be scraped, stored, ana­lysed, used, or repro­duced by any AI systems.
