We hope that our websites
will inspire and encourage you to explore further the rich transport
history of our great nation. If
you have any comments about this
website please feel free to contact me, Alex Naughton, via e-mail at: info@maritimebritain.co.uk
This
Website is developed using historical information researched from a
wide variety of sources, including books, magazines and websites etc
too numerous to mention or credit individually. While we try our very
best to ensure that any apparent "copyrights" are
not breached, due to limited time and resources we cannot always
guarantee that inadvertently mistakes may occur. But should such
inadvertent mistakes come to light we will do our best to cooperate.
Unfortunately we cannot guarantee to give credit to all information
sources used. We hope you understand.
The Internet was designed
and created as a place independent of
governments, free from any aspect of control, and where freedom of
speech reigns supreme and it will probably always remain like this.
Unfortunately we cannot uninvent the internet and we must face facts
and accept that in today's globalised modern world, we will have less
and less control over what is said and put on the internet. While I do
sympathise with those who wish to hold back this technological change
and resolutely protect to the full their "copyright" over material.
Sadly, with respect, I think that they do not understand the realities
of the modern technological, internet dominated world. Frankly it is
inevitable that we cannot always guarantee that all copyrights will be
protected resolutely on the internet anymore. We can try our very best
but to police comprehensively the complete protection of all copyrights
on the internet is nigh on impossible. Even global corporations are
having trouble controlling the internet, so how us individuals can
expect to control and police it I fail to see. For every website that
is notified successfully of an inadvertent copyright protection breach
there will inevitably be billions out there that continue to use
perhaps unauthorised material. I am sorry if that seems a gloomy
prediction, but I fear that this is a reality and a fact of life now
and we must accept and resign ourselves to the realities of today's
modern communication and internet age in the 21st century.
