By Steve Litt

After I changed Troubleshooters.Com's copyright page to reflect the realities of the pre-4/4/2001 MS Passport Terms of Use and Notices, I've been asked several times for permission to copy the Troubleshooters.Com copyright page.

The answer is no, unless you comply with all of the following points of compliance:

1. You remove all mention of Troubleshooters.Com, Steve Litt, and other info identifying the origin. The new page must be your copyright page.
2. You understand and agree that Steve Litt did not consult a lawyer before creating the Troubleshooters.Com copyright page, and therefore the copyright page may have substantial legal flaws which could result in loss of content, or even a lawsuit or other problems.
3. You agree to absolve Steve Litt, Troubleshooters.Com, American Troublebusters and/or its successors, from any and all responsibility for any kinds of damage created by your use of the Troubleshooters.Com copyright page, and to shoulder such responsibility yourself.

If, and only if, you agree to all three points of compliance, and agree to abide by them in perpetuity, and if you can legally make such an agreement, then I authorize you to use the Troubleshooters.Com copyright statement to make your own copyright statement or license agreement.

Note that the "fair use" doctrine of copyright law might make my permission unnecessary. But if you do not, or cannot, comply with the preceding three points of compliance, then I will not give my permission to copy or use the Troubleshooters.Com copyright statement.
