We will try to make this post in Layman's terms. The issue of copywrite. S.G.H.A.P.I. always gives credit to the creating writer, photographer or artist for the contents used within its site. Our site was not created by premade template and the Design setup is copywritten. However submitted photos always belong to the photographer, graphics always belong to the artist and written content is always the property of the original author... We are privileged to be able to use them... Copywrite basically states that if you sell another's work or try to represent it as your own creation then you have committed copywrite theft or infringement. The Founder of this group has taken many photos over the years and should he choose to post them within "HIS" site he is well within his rights. He has never signed or made an agreement with any person(s) to give them sole control of his work. We on this site are very pleased when someone wishes to use a photo and only ask that it be linked back to the site.
