the above post from the wording looks like it is mainly collected from my site... www.magicconventionguide.com

I'm quite happy for quotes to be taken from the site but in fairness to our advertisers we do ask that full articles not be taken, and part quotes be linked back to the site..

This si detailed on our site: http://www.magicconventionguide.com/disclaimer/

A lot of work has been put into the site from many people to produce a quality resource for magicians. You may not re-use any of the photos on this site without prior consent, you may not ‘hotlink’ or link images hosted here to other sites. You MAY take a summary of the article (one paragraph no longer that 10-12 lines) for inclusion on other sites, providing full credit is given to the author and ‘www.MagicConventionGuide.com’ along with a link back to the full URL of the article. We would also appreciate a email to advise us of the link.

We work very hard with conventions to make sure that the information is up to date, and yes we are releasing the names of all the internationa 2008 artists over the next few months. The competition to win free regristration is a fantastic offer from international. If you enter please let them know you saw the information on the magic convention guide.

for all the latest information on the convention you can look at the following address: http://www.magicconventionguide.com/tag ... tion-2008/

this will show you all the latest information for that event. We list as many conventions and news as we can. We also provide hotel listing and booking features, guides and information on the conventions. please submit anything you think might be of use to others as well...

the site costs us money to run, which I absorb myself, we donate ALL (100%) of all money made from advertising or listings to the HCMS in Reading, and the CARC (conjuring arts research center) in New York.

we will be interviewing the artists at international as well, and have a number of exciting interviews coming up over the next few months.

Please help us make the site a success...

having just spoken to mandrake, I'd like to offer to allow the following...

I'm happy for any content from www.magicconventionguide.com (except images) to be published here providing there is a link back to the source to read the fuller article or info.

pulling traffic and readers back to MCG since I've taken over it is a hard and difficult job, and I just want to be sure that at least some readership goes back there...
