COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER UNDER SECTION 107
Chestnut Lark may contain copyrighted material the use of which has not necessarily been specifically authorized by the copyright owner. Most of the time, however, we give credits to the author of quotes, photos and other related materials. We sourced these materials from various internet sites, in an effort to advance understanding of historical, political, geographical, anthropological, biological, human rights, economic, democratic, scientific, cultural and social justice issues, etc.
We believe the use of materials on this site constitutes a ‘fair use’ of any such copyrighted material (referenced and provided for in section 107 of the US Copyright Law). In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107, the material on this site is distributed without profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving the included information for research and educational purposes.

The owner of this page, its administrators, or representatives will not be held personally responsible, nor liable for any damages, actual or consequential, for any posts by third parties which may violate any law.
FAIR USE PROMOTES THE CREATION OF NEW KNOWLEDGE
Fair use is an essential right under copyright law, supporting the constitutional purpose of copyright: to promote the progress of science and the useful arts. Where copyright law might otherwise act to prevent people from accessing knowledge, fair use permits everyone to use existing cultural and scientific material without permission, under certain circumstances. This fair use right promotes innovation, creativity, and scholarship, ultimately allowing new knowledge to be created and shared. (via Fair Use Week)
