Help Support VacuumLand:
Wouldn't want to do something that could accidentally get the site or webmasters in trouble.
Just want to make it clear that the statement above is incorrect. Both automaticwasher.org and vacuumland.org have been registered with the copyright office which will keep us in the clear if someone posts something copyrighted. BUT that does mean the person who posts it will be responsible for any copyright liability.
In 1998, Congress passed the On-Line Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act (OCILLA) in an effort to protect service providers on the Internet from liability for the activities of its users. Codified as section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), this new law exempts on-line service providers that meet the criteria set forth in the safe harbor provisions from claims of copyright infringement made against them that result from the conduct of their customers. These safe harbor provisions are designed to shelter service providers from the infringing activities of their customers. If a service provider qualifies for the safe harbor exemption, only the individual infringing customer are liable for monetary damages; the service provider's network through which they engaged in the alleged activities is not liable.

I know what you mean
I do too. Maybe you should ask Fred and Robert their opinion, and see what they say. I love seeing it because it brought back some fond memories of when I worked for Kirby since that is one of the models I sold. I think you are correct to remove them for now. Better safe than sorry.
