All works shown are property of their respective artists or writers.

The material (pictures, stories, etc) found at this site have been provided by the contributing artists who kindly gave me permission to show them.

Copyright and all rights therein are maintained by the artists, notwithstanding that they have offered their works here electronically. It is understood that persons copying this information will adhere to the terms and constraints invoked by each author's copyright. These works may not be reposted without the explicit permission of the copyright holder.

The fact that something has been published on our site and posted on the Internet is in itself a clear message that the artist/writer wants it to be seen, and that he or she is not interested in collecting a toll each time someone takes a look at/reads it.

However, this does not mean that ordinary copyright concepts have ceased to apply - there is still someone who has the copyright to the work. Note, that Spawn itself is never the copyright holder; it only benefits from a non-withdrawable but also non-transferable "permission to publish". Instead, it is either the original author(s) or a conventional publisher who is the copyright holder. Please respect their rights, and abide by the following natural rules.

No rights or permissions are granted for display of these works on other web sites, webchats or in other forms. Please contact Oliver Booms (der.bomster@uni-muenster.de) for details on using his or her works.

Spawn has received authorization from Oliver Booms to use specific pieces of his art on our site.  The documentation of that authorization can be found by clicking here.
