Be HERE
The word “here” by definition, includes these meanings:
- in or at this place;
- at this time; now
As you can see, the word, whose definition most often is referring to one’s current location, also includes the concept of now…this moment…this time.
Though we may be separated by great distances, hence, you are there while I am here, physically and relating to our relative positions on earth, if you consider the latter definition, then we are both “here” simultaneously… Read more

April Brown and Copyright
We sincerely thank you for your concern and for your interest in copyright protection. The truth is good for everyone. Copyright protection is the law and available for everyone to learn about. These works, these intellectual properties, often represent an artist’s very livelihood, and the fact that the truth about copyrighted works (someone’s actual products) being taken by others unauthorized, unlicensed , and distributed to the world without authors’ knowledge or permission is being brought forth is indeed a good thing. We want the misuse and misappropriation of all copyrighted works to stop and we want people to learn about the law, copyright protection, public domain and the damages that copyright infringements cause to a person and/or company. Any efforts to bring the issue to the forefront help this cause.The taking of another’s’ property…and the subsequent unauthorized, unlicensed distribution to the world, does cause inevitable and irreparable damages. The victims are the authors, painters and creators whose works, efforts, intellectual properties and products are being taken at-will and distributed to the masses without authorization or payment of required licensing fees. This is how those who create for a living, make their living. Why should everyone be entitled to their products for free? Could you offer everything you do to the world for nothing and still make a living and pay your bills? Could stores offer products on their shelves to be taken without payment and mass produced for others? No. That’s called shoplifting. Scenario to consider: You select a product that’s offered for sale. You take the product. You don’t pay for the product. You use the product. You offer the product to thousands. It didn’t suddenly become a “free” product just because you chose it and used it. Someone has to be responsible for payment and distribution of that product.There is a reason for copyright…to protect original works. Thank you again.
