Dear Dexgo, regarding your contribution, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from web sites or printed material without the express permission of the author or copyright holder. As a copyright violation, the article has been deleted under the speedy deletion criteria.

If you choose to recreate the article, please ensure that the material is written in your own words. If you believe that using sentences from the source is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at the talk page of the new article and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GNU Free Documentation License, or released into the public domain leave a note at the talk page of the new article with a link to where we can find that note.
 * If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the talk page of the article.

Response to your note
Hi. :) As the copyright policy on Wikipedia indicates, "All works are copyrighted unless either they fall into the public domain or their copyright is explicitly disclaimed." In this case, that does not seem to apply. Lack of a "c" symbol doesn't constitute explicit disclaimer of copyright. You are welcome, however, to post an article in your own words, though in this case you might wish to first review the notability guidelines on films so you can be sure that your article demonstrates that it meets those guidelines. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:30, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Under modern law, copyright is automatic; there is no need to explicitly assert it, or to do any kind of "poor man's copyright registration" process. Everything not explicitly released is copyrighted. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:20, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
