Security and Property Rights

Anything that you send me electronically becomes my property, and this includes any emails you send. I can publish them if I feel like it, but I usually don't unless you are being a jackass or something. If you post objectionable statements, don't act surprised if it gets deleted or edited. By using my site you consent to being monitored for security purposes. Your IP information will be all over my logfiles, including any search keywords that led you to my site in the first place.

Copyright Notice

Sound files and other content of Belch.Com are free for personal home use by everyone in the world.  The content of Belch.Com, including graphics, title, name brands, and sound files are copyrighted by Belch.Com with all rights reserved. However, if you use any portion of the content of this site for commercial purposes, you must credit this site for its content. For instance, if you are a Radio station, and play a sound file on the air, you must credit Belch.Com for each session's use of the sounds. If you are a television station that displays the site on air, or play any part of its content, you must credit the site on air. Failure to do so may result in prosecution by me, but probably not unless I can demonstrate a significant financial loss versus the cost of getting a lawyer.

This website is mostly a news and commentary site. As such, articles and photos from internet sources are used under fair use. If you feel that something I have written or posted violates your copyright, let me know by emailing me at the address below. If I made a mistake I will rectify it at once. If you hire a lawyer first to send me harrassing notices, I will post them on my website and do my best to make you look like a prick. But I know the law and I really don't like bullying tactics.

Usage Fees and Advertising

If there is content, specifically, sound files that you wish to purchase for full time use for commercial purposes, email the webmaster at pat@belch.com for rates and details. Remember, Belch.Com's fanbase is huge, and if my content is used without credit, I WILL find out about it.

Privacy Notice

I do not guarantee that email information and IP information will remain undisclosed. That information is stored with your profile in clear text and I can read it, but no one else can. I rarely disclose anyone's identifying information unless they are really "asking for it." In fact, I have deliberately exposed liars and fraudsters that try to use my websites to spread lies, threats or propaganda. Often what is said is not as important as who is saying it. Even if I don't expose your information, I can often find out who you really are because you probably left clues about your identity all over the internet and I am a whiz at using Google. Using this site securely is the responsibility of the users. If you wish to protect your privacy, I suggest that you use nicknames, aliases, and email addresses that will not disclose your true identity. Also, IP information can be changed by using open proxies. Don't ask me how to do this. And if you think I'm being harsh, well, the same really goes for every site you use on the Internet. I'm just telling you the truth, and you're lucky I don't send you a bill for this valuable lesson. The internet is a dangerous place and if you are not prepared to play nicely and safely, perhaps you should buy a used Pong game and amuse yourself that way.
