            Copyrights 
                Thank you for your interest in this important 
                  subject! 
            Here, you can find out about Herb Allure's policies concerning copyrights. 
              You can also learn about how to obtain 
                permission to use excerpts from Herb Allure's books, computer 
              programs, and other materials. 
             
            
            
 
            Why Copyrights? 
            Ideas are property 
              (intellectual property). Property ownership is sacred. If you steal 
              property, you are a thief. If you steal (duplicate) an idea, you 
              are a thief. 
            Copyrights were invented to allow people to profit 
              from their ideas which encourages people to be creative, knowing 
              they will be rewarded for their labor and ingenuity. 
            If you cheat this important system, you are stealing 
              from all of those who benefit 
              from this system, not just the person who owns the intellectual 
              property! For this reason, copyright infringement is especially 
              damaging to our society, our nation, and our world. 
            Herb Allure attempts to have the most 
              lenient policies possible without undercutting our business 
              and our ability to continue producing quality material that everyone 
              benefits from. With every book sale we lose due to people's 
              disregard for copyright law and our policies, we lose support that 
              would be spent maintaining our ability to stay 
              in business providing quality NSP support products. 
            We are not a large 
              corporation that is immune towhat some might considersmall 
              infringements. Rather, like most NSP Distributors, we are small-business 
              owners working 10 to 16 hours per 
              day, 6 and 7 days per week for a vitally 
              important cause which we personally believe in. 
            Work with us to keep 
              the wheels of ingenuity rolling by respecting copyrights. 
            If you see something you believe may be a copyright 
              violation against us, please contact 
              us. After all, if we 
              saw someone breaking into your house 
              or herb store, we would certainly do the same for you. 
            You're either part of the problem, or 
              part of the solution. Make the right choices!            |
