I've reverted your contribution to the article because: In computer terminology there is in fact such a thing as web master servers/slave servers in the same way there are database master/slaves. The master would assign some of the processing power to the slave machines. A request to www.deadjournal.com would (hopefully I'm correct in this) go first to the [[load balancer]], then to one of the slaves. If all of the processing power was assigned to just one machine, there would be delays in service (due to so many requests being queued). Hopefully I'm making sense here, if not, feel free to ask on my talk page and I'll try to explain it better. — [[User:nathanrdotcom|<fontspan colorstyle="color:navy;">'''Natha'''</fontspan>]][[User:ILovePlankton/My loyalties to my friends|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#336666;">'''n'''</fontspan>]] ^{([[User talk:nathanrdotcom|talk]])} 21:24, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

::Well yes, I know what "webmaster" is :P. I made myself a little clearer above -- and well, an application that will use lots of requests (ie LiveJournal with millions of users, potentially tons of requests per second) need other webservers to do the work. — [[User:nathanrdotcom|<fontspan colorstyle="color:navy;">'''Natha'''</fontspan>]][[User:ILovePlankton/My loyalties to my friends|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#336666;">'''n'''</fontspan>]] ^{([[User talk:nathanrdotcom|talk]])} 23:03, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. I saw you posted on the talk for [[Stephen Colbert]] that "significant contributors to this and other Colbert-related articles should consider sending the host (Dreamhost.com) of Wikiality.com and Wikiality.net DMCA Takedown requests." due to hosting a version of the Colbert article which doesn't comply with the GFDL. I'm a significant contributor, but I'm not extremely familiar with GFDL law. Can you give me a better idea how I'd go about doing this? I checked out the link provided and I admit I'm a bit uncomfortable with the layout similarities combined with similar content -- seems potentially confusing to the reader. <span style="font-family:monospace"> -- (Lee)[[User:Lee_Bailey|Bailey]][[User talk:Lee_Bailey|^{<font colorstyle="color:black;">[[User talk:Lee_Bailey|(talk)]]</font>}]]</span> 22:24, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

:I'm on it. The form I'm found to use is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:DMCA_takedown_notice here]. I assume from it I should attempt to contact the site owner personally before sending this, which I have no problem with if needs be. The only question I have left is that Wikiality.com seems to be continously redirecting the "Stephen Colbert" to various different places with unique names -- I'm not sure how to list the infringing url in this case. I suppose I can just explain as much in plain english. In any case, thank you for keeping on top of these things. <span style="font-family:monospace"> -- (Lee)[[User:Lee_Bailey|Bailey]][[User talk:Lee_Bailey|^{<font colorstyle="color:black;">[[User talk:Lee_Bailey|(talk)]]</font>}]]</span> 23:33, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Just an FYI re your message. I did not create ''two'' images, merely [[:Image:Scientologylogo.png]], which was licensed under GFDL as it was an edit of [[:Image:Scientologylogo.GIF]], an image uploaded by another user (User [[User_talk:Where100|Where100]] - claimed to be under GDFL). Accordingly my edit followed the same license. Just wanted to make that clear - [[User:GIen|Gl<fontspan colorstyle="color:green;">'''e'''</fontspan>n]] 09:15, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. Just wanted to alert you to the fact that although [http://www.wikiality.com Wikiality.com] now appears to be at least trying to comply with the terms of the GFDL, they're also [http://www.wikiality.com/Image:Wikiality_Logo2.jpg using Wikipedia's copyrighted logo] as part of their design for each page. I've dropped them a note (again) mentioning this and the fact they only link to the full text of the GFDL offsite rather than hosting in locally; however the I'm not sure I'm the right person to deal with issues concerning the logo. I thought I'd bring it to your attention and if you believe it's worth dealing with, you can pass it on the right person. Let me know if I can help. <span style="font-family:monospace"> -- (Lee)[[User:Lee_Bailey|Bailey]][[User talk:Lee_Bailey|^{<font colorstyle="color:black;">[[User talk:Lee_Bailey|(talk)]]</font>}]]</span> 08:25, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

::Really? I'm surprised to hear that would qualify as parody. I've heard that exceptions in copyright law for parody are rather liberal, but I would have presumed that since the original image file is clearly used in its entirety, the use would be unacceptable -- the only 'modification' they've really done is superimposing another photo over it. But I don't really know much about that area of the law -- regardless, thanks for checking it out. <span style="font-family:monospace"> -- (Lee)[[User:Lee_Bailey|Bailey]][[User talk:Lee_Bailey|^{<font colorstyle="color:black;">[[User talk:Lee_Bailey|(talk)]]</font>}]]</span> 21:30, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
