Starfleet Logistics content[edit source]

Important: The content of this website does NOT apply to the original works and trademarked names. The Star Trek titles and associated names are the sole property of Paramount Pictures and CBS Corporation. The administrators of Starfleet Logistics believe that the operation of this website falls under the definition of "fair use" under United States copyright laws.

Images and other media[edit source]

Files that are used on Starfleet Logistics remain the property of their original creators, and are only included on this website for purposes of illustration under fair use guidelines. Unless the original author of the files expressly grants permission, files do not fall under the scope of the Creative Commons License. Please refer to the listen claimed when uploaded on that files information page.

Using copyrighted work from others[edit source]

If you use part of a copyrighted work under "fair use," or if you obtain special permission to use a copyrighted work from the copyright holder under the terms of our license, you must make a note of that fact (along with names and dates). It is our goal to be able to freely redistribute as much of Starfleet Logistics’s material as possible (within the limits of copyright law), so original images and sound files licensed under the Creative Commons License or in the public domain are greatly preferred to copyrighted media files used under fair use.

If you find a copyright infringement[edit source]

It is not the job of rank-and-file members of Starfleet Logistics to police every article for possible copyright infringement, but if you suspect one, you should at the very least bring up the issue in that page's comments section. Others can then examine the situation and take action if needed. The most helpful piece of information you can provide is a URL or other reference to what you believe may be the source of the text.

Some cases will be false alarms. For example, if the contributor was in fact the author of the text that is published elsewhere under different terms, that does not affect their right to post it here under the Creative Commons License. Also, sometimes you will find text elsewhere on the Web that was copied from Starfleet Logistics. In both of these cases, it is a good idea to make a note in the talk page to discourage such false alarms in the future.

If some of the content of a page really is an infringement, then the infringing content should be removed, and a note to that effect should be made on the comments page, along with the original source. If the author's permission is obtained later, the text can be restored.

If all of the content of a page is a suspected copyright infringement, then the page should be discussed on the possible copyright infringements page. If, after a 4 weeks from the date on which the discussion was started, the page still appears to be a copyright infringement, then it may be deleted from the database.

In extreme cases of contributors continuing to post copyrighted material after appropriate warnings, such users may be blocked from editing to protect the project.

Belief of copyright infringement[edit source]

Starfleet Logistics requests that in the case that the owner or owners of a copyrighted work feel that their work is being illegally infringed upon, they provide a full list of all items which they believe are infringing, along with the reasoning behind the belief that those items are infringing to Starfleet Logistics’s designated agent. In addition, please provide the name of a person, along with their mailing address and e-mail address, for a reply or follow-up letters.
