Taking Part? Hi, Thank you for accessing this page and sorry if you were hoping to read something about submissive’s. What this page is for, is to help you get some enjoyment and a bit fun by joining in on The Institute. OK, first we need to be careful regarding who owns the Copyright of all types of material including written works, photographs and other ‘intellectual works’. In short we don’t want it if you don’t own the rights. We do not wish to labour the point but it is important that if you send in work you must be able to grant us permission to use the work. As a point of interest, did you know that if have not published the work before; by placing it on this site will secure your Copyright? Remember, we only want to share it with others not own it. You have done the hard work and will continue to own the Copyright. Please view http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html#wci if you need more detailed information. The Institute as you know is a FREE BDSM site and we aim to keep it that way. We believe there is never enough information about the alternative lifestyle and I personally have not seen a site yet where I could find almost everything I was looking for, so my objective was and is to build the most extensive lifestyle resource website on the net. Ok I may not be there but I am trying (do I hear an old joke?) but I need your help. We have and are in the process of creating original work and these will be identified. If you wish to use and of our Copyright material you are free to do so. If you make any changes, let us have a copy and if we can agree we may substitute ours with yours or run both. We do not wish to make money out of people, just make it possible for others ok and us to have fun. We would ask that you do not use any item that is not clearly marked ‘The Institute’ without asking the ‘owner’ first. We will help you make contact – please ask. The people who contribute here are I am pleased to say I have found to be trustworthy, thoughtful and I am proud to consider them friends. OK what are we after? We are always looking for good solid input. If it floats your boat it will probably do ours. We are interested written works of fiction, fact or instructional texts from 100 to 1500 words although longer pieces may be considered. Try to give them a logical start, middle and end with good believable characters. A personal plea though? Please try to avoid the use of our pet hate, the wording, some sort of ........ If you can’t, ok go on then.It is ok to submit simple texts in the body of an e-mail but all submission must include the following statement: “The material included in this communication is entirely my own, except where otherwise attributed and mentioned in the text. By sending this material to The Institute I thereby permit it to be entered on the website and made accessible to others. I nevertheless assert and retain intellectual rights to the material. ” If you wish to use an attachment please use .txt or .rft format. In all cases, please include the above statement. If you want to add usage conditions please do so and these will be considered. We welcome both amateur and professional photography and art here at The Institute. Please remember, we are not a porn site and those images of that type will not be posted. If you require a Copyright message on your work we will be pleased to mark it with your wording. In all cases, if you are in doubt, please contact us using theinstitute@blueyonder.co.uk We are keen to work with you and will help you if we are able. In the past this has included equipment and financial support for projects. What you get if we use your work aside from supporting one of the best sites on the web? You secure your Copyright. We can include a personal biography if you wish, including a photograph. You can link to a website of your choice. You can have an e-mail link if you want one or we can act as a mail box. Have you ever fancied your own site but do not have the time or resources to operate one? How about your own CELL possibly your very own Cell or page if you wish. Don’t put it off, contact us now, let’s talk things over and get things moving theinstitute@blueyonder.co.uk whisper* Barde ? Barde ? Barde ?
Whatever you do when you write to us, now and forever, don’t use the name of
the enema equipment company Barde ? Shhhhh I'm sure you know who. Why? Their
lawyers have had a go at us like the trademark-thieving dog that we are.
What I want is that job at Bardex HQ where a legal brain is spending all day reading through enema porn, just to ensure that no struggling writer is using that trademark in vain. Apparently, if we use the word Barde? in an unflattering context again, those lawyers would come down on us like a ton of Barde? enemas, saying “Use of our client’s trademark to identify enema equipment in erotic fiction is likely to cause confusion” |
