Copyright does not depend on the country you are living in. So if you put up official stuff like videos or MP3's you can get in trouble no matter where you are in the world. If you haven't any official stuff on your site, excellent! But I can assure you that even having pics on your site can get you in trouble! As for how Roger or Jim Beach got to know about your site, why are you so cagey about it? Apart from that, I'm sure that the Queen management is pretty aware of every bigger site on the net regarding Queen members.

Ok the site has been hauled over my solicitors over here and my IT team - read the disclaimers on the site - that should let you know how tough it was and the level it was picked on. Now I am in Australian territory and come under OZ copyright laws - I will hear don't worry if there is anything up that they are not happy about. I am sure you had it checked and yes, you have a disclaimer on your website (so do I). But still I know of websites that went through a lot of trouble and even had been closed cause they were posting copyrighted lyrics! It was just a hint…. Thank you for your input I will look at all that you are saying - looks like I have heaps of fine tuning to do - damn it!!! Can get painful at times - I have set the site to suit high end machines I guess - I will have look at reducing the banner size and so on - as modem uses would be left for dead on my site. Guess I forgot people are still on dial up not on broadband. Unfortunatey lots of them, still! I always have a friend to check my sites cause she is on a dial up and has problems I don’t have cause I am on broadband. You cannot please everybody of course. But stuff like big images or screen resolution to fit the majority of users is something we have to keep in mind. Anything that is up there is within OZ copyright law and all the correct legal jargon that goes with all that sort of stuff is up - Don't worry I have done my homework and I do know what is official and what is not and how much I can legally put up as in extract and how much I cannot. What is up is up in a format that complies within Oz copyright laws if that makes sense - I am sure the site is heavily watched by now as I have followed procedure to the letter of the law with the downloads. There is a procedure the official camps take if there is something I have presented on my site in an illegal way (which I have not) - I am sure as soon as I do anything incorrect on my site I will hear about it before I can say boo. If they (QP) really check on every website which might contain official stuff then they had hundreds of people hunting the net cause there are so many Queen related website so I think this won't be the case. Just because it’s gone unnoticed does not mean it’s legal. That was my point. And why looking for trouble if you can avoid it… I am tempted myself to put on official stuff or demos but I won’t because of that reason. And as to How I know it got to their laps well that's not for the public domain sorry. It’s because you mentioned it yourself and you put a note on your website saying “Please note: Permission and official approval is currently being sought for this website and its content.” And people (or better me) want to know what’s behind it. If you don’t want/can’t write about it then don’t mention it. But if you do you must be prepared that curious minds like to know! BTW I used tables not frames. Whatever... but you know what I mean, right? So please exchange the word “frames” to “tables”. Copyright does not depend on the country you are living in. So if you put up official stuff like videos or MP3's you can get in trouble no matter where you are in the world. That’s what I was thinking…. If you haven't any official stuff on your site, excellent! But I can assure you that even having pics on your site can get you in trouble! …..Or even lyrics (see above) As for how Roger or Jim Beach got to know about your site, why are you so cagey about it? Apart from that, I'm sure that the Queen management is pretty aware of every bigger site on the net regarding Queen members. I am sure they are aware or better their staff members. Sarah: that would include your website as well! Isis, as said before, in no way I am writing this to cause you a headache. But you asked for the board member’s input.

Yep we do! Input regarding your site: it takes too long to load. But that's nothing that couldn't be fixed soon.

Hi Isis, I've just found your site by accident and I've already written you a letter (from Aleksandra) - and then I saw the thread here in our forum...
Keep up the good work!
Ps. I've just added some screencaps from No. 73 programme and Golden Rose with the Cross - on my site.
