| Copyright Back Unfortunately, I have already had to take action against websites that have illegally reproduced my work as their own. I don't mind people referencing my work, providing I have given prior permission - however, I will not allow people to simply copy my hard work. I have provided free access to my work over the net since 1998. I fully intend to continue but I will always take action against people infringing my copyright as defined by international laws and treaties.
