NOTEDWhat changed, in plain language
Nothing in this update changes your rights. The only difference is the scrambled code behind two "email protected" links in the copyright-complaint sections — Britannica's site scrambles email addresses to hide them from spam bots, and that scrambling was regenerated. The contact person, mailing address, phone, and fax are all the same, and every rule about copyright notices and counter-notices is unchanged.
This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).
Changelog
- ± CHANGEDSpam-protection code on copyright contact email links refreshed
The two links for emailing Britannica's Copyright Manager (one for filing a copyright complaint, one for disputing a takedown) now use different scrambled codes. This is an automatic anti-spam feature of the website, not a new email address. The rest of the contact details and all the steps for filing a notice stay exactly the same.
