Sorry Todd, took my chill pill and it kicked in.... I was just looking at it from a different perspective.

Couple of things. With the new copyright law works are automatically considered copyrighted at their time of publication, you can't escape it unless perhaps you want to include a notice excluding your work from automatic copyright.Formal copyright still exists for those whose work calls for registering their work product.Little appears here on Lottery Post that could be sold as-is for profit and even if it were you would have no loss because you gave it away free. All these tips and ideas have... [ More ]

Rick G,You're really getting worked up. You need to relax. You're placing too much emphasis on who owns what and counting thank you's. Over time, people generally get back what they give, so don't count every thank you and payback on the way.

Power trails is already copy written just type it into a search engine.

I spent 30 minutes the other day explaining the Power Trails concept (Giving full credit to Bob Perkins for the origin), but I added my viewpoints and observations to his concept. That is a forum...The word copyright does not even belong in here

Just got done reading some of these other posts, here's an example, if Bob P's Power trails were to be sold under a different name and that individual made the profits, he would be pissed....and tell me you wouldn't Bob.This is a copyright discussion not an idealogical one.

Todd,It's not you I'm worried about....it's the countless requests for help that go unrecognized. I still feel I'm helping your site, because I don't BS and I give suggestions and attempt to help a lot of your 6000+ members, my stats aren't that bad, and only about about 10% of your members help others on a daily basis with their forum posts and predictions. Because of the copyright info that you can claim to, but any member can use , and make money on, I will no longer be offering suggestions... [ More ]

Copyright protects both the author and the publisher. Todd owns what we choose to post here, but we don't lose our right to post the work elsewhere.If I post some wheels and systems here and later choose to include them in a book Todd can't claim ownership. If Todd chooses to write a book of the best systems posted on Lottery Post he doesn't need further permission from me once I've posted the system here. At least that's my understanding of it, like sending a letter to the editor, if they pub... [ More ]

todd is just covering his own a$$!This site is one of the most amzing things I have ever seen! The predictions set up is out of this world!I can't even imagine the amount of work it took to set up anything like that.Thank you Tod, for everything.Don't be mad about a stupid search engine ordeal, thats being greedy

Colin F: That's a good solution with the printable page. However, rather than copying it into Word, Internet Explorer has a built-in search feature - just hit Ctrl-F.About the copyright thing:Don't post copyrighted material to Lottery Post, because anything posted here becomes the property of Lottery Post.Likewise, if you own a copyright to something, I don't think you'd be posting it to a public forum.The rule is spelled out very simply because I want to avoid any confusion.This is not some bi...

You are online Todd, I want an answer to Colin's question re: copyrights.I've anwered numerous PMs and posted publicly on your board about how I get my numbers and am disappointed at this revelation.An answer here would be appreciated or I'll go back to the old system don't tell, don't sell.

Colin,Good point, unrelated to the current subject, but the content of a post should not have copyright ownership by the site's owner(s), otherwise we would be doing nothing but throwing numbers out here.I have given my heart and soul to help people to win money on here and if I thought the copyright went to the the site owner I would stop posting my ideas, suggestions, and systems immediately.

With some of the long threads that I want to peruse at my leisure I simply go to Printable version which is at the bottom of the page and then Save As to save it somewhere in .txt format. You can then open it up in Word and use the Find feature there. Press the more button and you can use wildcards.An interesting question that I would like Todd to answer is in the Rules it says: Messages that are posted on Lottery Post become the property of Lottery Post once the author submits the message to be...

Todd,Just my feelings, but it's kind of a hassle going through 29 pages of text to see what someone has said about you....just my opinion.Your site is great and this is not a big issue with me, but I get curious and the time frame of reading 29 pages of text is a little much for me.But I'm not bitching, that is a very little issue in the search context...I like what you've done with the site 100%.I was just curious what someone had to say about me or to me in a thread I had not participated in a...

Rick G — Sat, 31 Jul 2004 02:21:18 GMT

so here is another one....Using the search option, it is easy to find your last posts by author. But using it to find the posts that you are a subject in is virtually impossible; unless I'm mistaken and you can help me out.An example is this thread about psychic predictions. 29 pages of posts and I'm a subject (according to the search) in at least one of them.With 29 pages of posts to date, I don't have the time reading each and every post and would like to know what this post says. Is there... [ More ]
