The internet is a notoriously grey area when it comes to issues
of copyright and the abuse or unauthorised use of material without
the consent of the owner of the intellectual property rights.
The Escape to Victory website is a not-for-profit
site run purely as a reference for fans of the film. It has been
my mission with this site to provide readers with a wide range
of content asscociated with, and about the film "Escape to
Victory", which is done on a purely for fun basis, Whilst
every step has been taken to contact the relevant copyright owners,
and all material is properly sourced and credited, it has been
occasionally not possible to contact them all. I wish to make
clear the point again that this site is purely run on a non profit
basis, I dont make any money out of it, and I am doing my best
to ensure this site remains advert free. Like most of the websites
on the internet, were copyright laws stringently upheld, there
would be no personal fan sites such as this, and probably no internet
sites at all, other than corporate sites. The internet was founded
on the principle of the free exchange of ideas for educational
and research purposes, and Ive tried to uphold this concept. In
defence of this I claim simply that the material on this site
is in the public interest, and that no money is made from it.
Still should any potential owner of said material have a problem
with its use on this site, then they can contact
me here and I will remove the material immediately should
they so desire. I hope however they see my point of view
and allow me to continue to provide as broad a range of content
as possible for fans of the film. Thank you.
"Victoire Colby!"
