CopyHeart.org<\/a> | People copy stuff they like. They don\u2019t copy stuff they don\u2019t like. The more a work is copied, the more valuable it becomes. Value isn\u2019t taken away<\/em> by fans, it is added<\/em> by them, every time they copy.<\/p>\n

\u2661 Copying art is an act of love. <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Obscurity\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2661 Love is not subject to law.<\/h2>\n

Although we appreciate and use Free Licenses<\/a> when appropriate, these aren\u2019t solving<\/a> the problems of copyright restrictions. Instead of trying to educate everyone on the complexities of copyright law, we\u2019d rather make our intentions clear with this simple statement:<\/p>\n

\u2661 Copying is an act of love. Please copy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2661 Please copy and share.<\/h2>\n

The \u2661<\/strong>Copyheart means we WANT you to copy and share. No restrictions. Just like it says: please copy and share.<\/strong>
\n\"Originality\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Q. Is the <\/em>\u2661Copyheart trademarked?<\/em><\/h3>\n

A. No. It\u2019s just a statement of intention. Its effectiveness depends only on how people use it, not on state enforcement. Here are are some other symbols that aren\u2019t trademarked, but whose meanings and intentions are widely (if imperfectly) understood:<\/p>\n

\u271d \u262a \u2721 \u263a \u262e \u267b<\/h1>\n

Q.Is the <\/em>\u2661Copyheart legally binding?<\/em><\/h3>\n

A. Probably not, although you could test it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mark your work with the \u2661Copyheart message.<\/li>\n
  2. Sue someone for copying it.<\/li>\n
  3. See what the judge says.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/a>
    \nWe really don\u2019t think laws and \u201cimaginary property\u201d have any place in peoples\u2019 love or cultural relations. Creating more legally binding licenses and contracts just perpetuates the problem of law \u2013 a.k.a. state force \u2013 intruding where it doesn\u2019t belong. That \u2661copyheart isn\u2019t a legally binding license is not a bug \u2013 it\u2019s a feature!<\/p>\n

    Q. How do I use the <\/em>\u2661?<\/em><\/h3>\n

    A. Use it wherever you would use the \u00a9copyright symbol. Instead of<\/p>\n

    \u00a9 Copyright 2010 by Author\/Artist. All Rights Reserved.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    you could write<\/p>\n

    \n

    \u26612010 by Author\/Artist. Copying is an act of love. Please copy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    or any of these variations:<\/p>\n

    \n

    \u26612010 by Author\/Artist. Copying Art is an act of love. Please copy and share.
    \n\u26612010 by Author\/Artist. Copying Art is an act of love. Love is not subject to law.
    \n\u26612010 by Author\/Artist. Please copy.
    \n\u26612010 by Author\/Artist. Please share.
    \n\u26612010 by Author\/Artist.
    \n\u26612010 Copying Art is an act of love. Please copy and share.
    \n\u26612010 Copying is an act of love. Please copy.
    \n\u2661 Copying is an act of love. Please copy.
    \n\u2661 Copying is an act of love. Love is not subject to law.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    You get the idea. Of course you can do anything you want with the \u2661Copyheart symbol, and any other symbol. We don\u2019t own it. No one does.<\/p>\n
