BBW Wiki β

User blog:Betagammadelta/On the recent edits by BigCuties staff

Greetings! I am the sole administrator of this wiki, and as such I assume full responsibility for all actions taken on this website.

Recently, someone associated with BigCuties attempted to take down certain information on their models' pages. As such, I must respond in defence of the wiki.

This site is meant to be a database/compendium of information on BBW models. Those of us who contribute understand that the majority of the models described in our articles are professionals and thus have a copyright on materials pertinent to them. However, I would like to draw your attention to the doctrine of fair use, as detailed in this article .

As stated in the article, the law is "more likely to find that nonprofit educational and noncommercial uses are fair." This website seeks only to gather information with which we may educate users; we do not seek any form of compensation or other profit from this venture.

Furthermore, also stated in the article, "if the use employs only a small amount of copyrighted material, fair use is more likely." The pages on this wiki, on average, contain only one picture; when a set of pictures is released on your average model's site, they often contain fifty to one hundred pictures. When you take into account the sheer number of sets the average model creates, the one picture we use for reference is hardly a drop in the bucket.

Finally, the article states that another factor which influences how fair use is determined is "whether, and to what extent, the unlicensed use harms the existing or future market for the copyright owner's original work." As such, I must argue that the articles of this website do no harm to, and may even benefit, the demand for any given model's work. On every page we include a link to the model's website, so if the user "likes what they see," so to speak, they have immediate access to the firsthand location where they can purchase the model's merchandise.

Thank you for your time; if you take any further issue with the content on this wiki, feel free to contact me .
