The thing is: animals are unpredictable. Even my old,cat loving(almost crazy about) aunt doesn’t trust in her cat. She keeps him away from her newborn grandchild. One swipe to the eye and the kid is blind for life.

Not the kind of thing you need when you require a high level of reliability circa 1000 (as in rounded or sorta).

Q: I’m considering writing a biography about someone relatively famous in my hometown. I’ve noticed that biographies fall into one of two categories: authorized and unauthorized. What’s the difference?
A: The difference between an authorized biography and an unauthorized biography is this: An authorized biography is written with the help/cooperation of the person whom the book is about and an unauthorized biography is not.
In an authorized biography, the author typically holds interviews with the subject of the book, the subject’s family members and friends, co-workers, etc. The author is privy to information only attainable from the subject of the book. So, let’s say you wanted to write Brian A. Klems: Man, Writer, Softball Champion and wanted it to be an authorized biography. You’d contact me and ask for my blessing and cooperation, getting as much information as you can directly from me (and those around me). If I were deceased (yikes!), you’d need the blessing of my estate. Also, depending on level of involvement, sometimes the subject will get a shared byline and possibly a share of the book’s revenue. Issues like that can—and should—be addressed before the book is started.
(Of course, if your family are Saint, the share of the revenue or blessing of estate is not limited to copyright benefit. In fact, the benefits survives the limit of the copyright by far.
For instance, if a biographic sketch is required due to Works By the U.S. Federal Government, or, in this case, the US Army, or US Army medical department to be more specific, this would also make the details of the work more prevalent, prevail and be used to prevail.
The
Biographies from the first Register of Copyright, Thorvald Solberg, appointed in 1897, through the current Register
https://www.copyright.gov/about/registers/index.html
only started in 1897…)
…
On the flip side, if you call for my help and I tell you to buzz off, you have two options: 1) to actually buzz off or 2) to go ahead and write the biography anyway without my help. Here you’ll have to gather info on your own from public records and other resources, but you won’t have to make any professional compromises or financial concessions.
Before you write any biography, authorized or not, I recommend reading the article “ Publication Of An Unauthorized Biography ” by Lloyd L. Rich. He offers up an excellent breakdown of the potential legal ramifications, what they mean and how to avoid them.

Plagiarism and infringement
What are plagiarism and infringement?
Plagiarism is stealing someone’s original work or idea, manipulating it and presenting it as your own creative work without giving due credit.
Infringement is selling someone else’s copyrighted work and commercially exploiting them without taking the necessary permission from them. The infringement incorporates all the illegitimate activities that breach due rights of copyright holders.
Do I need authorization or permission to use someone else’s work?
Yes, if the work is copyrighted you have to take permission from the owner to adapt it, copy or share it.
First of all, determine if the content is copyrighted and whether you need permission to use or not. Then identify the owner and request permission to use their intellectual work. They might demand some payment, negotiate over that and take written permission to lawfully use their work.
Can I freely use works published on the internet?
No, online content holds the same level of copyright protection as the offline non-digital content. Using, copying or posting freely any work published on the internet without taking permission from the author will come under copyright infringement.
But a small part of the copyrighted work which would be used for reviews, quoting, criticism or for news is referred to as “fair use” and copyright law allows this.
What is a “public domain” work?
Public domain is referred to the content or work which is not protected by copyright law. You can freely use this content without taking permission from the creator and won’t be charged for infringement.
The material which is in public domain usually is the one whose copyright has been expired or is the one which is not in tangible form; besides the content published by governments are usually not copyrighted and are free to use.

Works Not Covered By Copyright
You may want to use or incorporate someone else’s work into your own. While the works of others may be protected by copyright, there are a class of works that fall outside the scope of copyright law. The following categories of work are not eligible for copyright protection, regardless of when they were created and whether or not they bear a copyright notice.
- Facts
- Works created by the United States Government
- Works not fixed in a tangible form of expression
- Ideas, concepts, principles, or discoveries
- Words, phrases, or familiar symbols
Additionally, even works that qualify for copyright protection fall into the public domain after a certain period of time.
Facts
You can use facts in your online work without the fear of liability because facts are not protected under copyright law. As we explain in the section on Copyrightable Subject Matter, copyright protection applies to “original works of authorship.” Although the level of creativity required to be “original” is extremely low, facts do not have the requisite level of creativity. For example, baseball scores, telephone numbers, dates of birth, and the number of people at a protest are noncopyrightable facts.
However, there may be situations in which a compilation of facts may be protected if the creator of the original publication selected, coordinated, or arranged the facts in an original way. For example, a sports almanac may arrange baseball scores in a creative way, a genealogy chart may arrange birth dates in an original way, or a cookbook may arrange ingredients in a creative and original way as part of its recipes. In each of those instances, the creator of the work would have a copyright in the creative arrangement of the facts, but not the facts themselves.
…
Ideas, concepts, or principles
Copyright does not cover ideas, concepts, and principles themselves, only the form in which they are expressed. For instance, merely coming up with an idea does not make you the copyright owner because you haven’t actually expressed anything. You become the copyright owner only when you put that idea into “expression” through words (e.g., in a blog post) or other tangible form (e.g., in a video, a photograph, or a podcast).
For example, Einstein’s theory of special relativity is not copyrightable because it is an idea (or concept or principle). However, Einstein’s article, “On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies,” in which he explained and expressed the theory, was copyrightable.
If you come across an idea/concept/principle, you can use it in your online work with out (or, without, rather than with out) fear of liability as long as you do not use the form in which it is expressed (which may be copyrightable). However, you should consider citing to the source in order to avoid a claim of plagiarism.
Works in the Public Domain
…
- First, any work that was published before 1923 is in the public domain.
- Second, any work published without a copyright notice between 1923 and 1977 is in the public domain.
- Third, works created after 1989 generally are not in the public domain, regardless of notice or registration, unless the work has been dedicated to the public domain.
So, a biographic sketch published in the 1970s to 1980s with revisions maybe on that second category above.
Of course, that doesn’t include translations of the original works in English, American English, Russian or German, each of which were done at a later date than 1989.
Electronic Computer Inventory programs with integrated evaluation systems written in GW-Basic, CoBOL-74, DBaseIII+ and Turbo C++, each language of which, practically required rewriting the new code from start, since those languages did not share the same structure.
The only parts that were similar were part of the higher inventory program structure from the structure charts.
Even that proved that there was enough differences in the different languages to require their own new and separate structure charts since the final product was not functioning the same way, and each had their own details which were different from the other languages enough to make it more useful to have their own structure charts, and also more efficient.

Now, I don’t know if that compiler version works, I didn’t try it yet, but statistically, it probably won’t.
I will check it out later (as I do not have the time for that now, as my work is still attacked).
Nonetheless, that original language was solely designed for educational purposes, which makes it why it is not published for public commercial transfer (the education system still retain the rights, as well as methods, for publishing and transfer).
Each were also done after 1989, after a 1990 scholarship and 1992 grant.
Those financial transaction documents now require copyright registration since parties seek to forfeit copyrights of my works, as they will become necessary for proof of those original dates and relation with the protection systems.
By the way, those systems and programs are not only usable for membership cards in golf country clubs, with magnetic strips on the membership cards, but also for other electronic data transaction systems, such as bitcoin or facebook.

A word of caution about using public domain works. You should check whether a public domain work has already been incorporated into another work. Although the public domain portions of that new work are not protected, the author’s new expressive content and selection and arrangement of the public domain work may be protected by copyright. Creative Commons’ Podcasting Legal Guide gives two examples that illustrates this potential issue:
- Photographs of the Mona Lisa that are designed to precisely replicate the original work will likely not enjoy copyright protection because they are intended to capture Leonardo Da Vinci’s expression of the painting as closely as possible. However, a photograph of a sculpture that is in the public domain may be protected by copyright because of the skill and creativity involved in composing the photograph.
- The text of a book in the public domain may be used freely, but a current publisher of the book may have copyright rights to the expressive elements of a recently published edition (e.g. the new layout, cover art, etc.).
It seems I know someone else who worked at Capcom during the Space Shuttle days.
I could recognize him from his voice, which voice is public from some of the publication originating from there.
I’m certainly not the only one to have heard that voice.
Of course, it’s modulated by electronic equipment and systems, which does modify the final output a little bit, but still.
He never said it was him and he may carry it to his grave, or only publish that fact to certain specified parties.
It’s the man who sold me my first and possibly only 386 which does still work compared to less than 50% of my other computers.
I just paid $476 to pay for its storage Thursday, even though it’s including more than 1 month of storage, due to other obligations and events occurring in relation to it.

One upside of such small vehicles is that even 30 km/h feels fairly fast. The agility, low position also helps.
