Read this because we still live in a world with stupid laws

GRANTJKIDNEY.com may re-post portions of news, editorial, and educational articles- as well as images to which we hold no rights- but does so in full compliance with U.S. copyright laws under the ‘fair use’ doctrine.

GRANTJKIDNEY.com does not intend to make any profit from re-posted news, editorial, and educational works and will always link back to the source from which said work had been derived (except for in the case of images where it is difficult to locate a source). Donations to GRANTJKIDNEY.com are requested- and advertising revenue is received- but in no way are such activities an attempt to earn revenue from re-posted news, editorial, or educational works. Rather, donations are requested and advertising revenue sought for the sole intent and purpose of bolstering the quality and quantity of creative content originally published on GRANTJKIDNEY.com.

We care about your copyright

On May 19th, 2012, GRANTJKIDNEY.com adopted a stricter policy on the re-posting of works found elsewhere on the web. Before this date, linked-to news, editorial, and educational articles may have been re-posted in full where it was otherwise stated from the source website that such was a violation of proper terms of use. GRANTJKIDNEY.com apologizes for the re-posting of full news, editorial, and educational works before the date of May 19th, 2012. If an individual or a company requests to have their particular work removed from GRANTJKIDNEY.com, we will comply in good faith. Please use the site’s contact page to get a hold of us.

In 2011, a now bankrupt, major copyright holder suffered a significant loss in federal court when a judge ruled that the re-posting of an entire news article constituted ‘fair use’. The precise definition of fair use is subjective to each individual case. From our standpoint, whenever it was that news, editorial, or educational articles were re-posted in full to GRANTJKIDNEY.com, we were merely exercising a form of free speech and engaging in constitutionally protected political activism. The purpose behind our re-posting of full news, editorial, or educational articles was to raise awareness to the issues we care most about. We fostered no intent to inflict damages of any sort upon the source website from which we had extracted material.
