Worth a look. I fell out with Mad John a few years ago over what I can’t remember but this is just plain wrong.

Thanks for the nudge - didn't know about this. Always looking at ITMC for something or other so made a donation.

Who is the copy holder ?
If it’s some company revenue raising on a technicality maybe we can give them
Some public reviews of what we think of that sort of behavior

Shocking news, what justifies such penalties?

Yep I would like to know shocking behaviour , just donated as I do use his site.

doubt it will be another individual that holds the copyright as the fine would have been less than for a company that does not need the money. what actually is under copyright still as even after a certain age thing seems to vary from one thing to another in this. once if things became a certain age they were automatically out of copyright and royalty,s from them ended.

NAME AND SHAME.

Lets have it.

BTW, I also didn't know that GoFundMe adds 15% for itself to every donation. No doubt it needs to charge something to cover costs, but 15% feels like a bit of a racket.

It has to pay for itself somehow. Worth it for the good idea it is.

15% is the recommended amount, but you don’t have to pay this you can change the amount to whatever you wish, I for instance changed it to 5%.

True, I forgot it’s optional.

PA Media apparently.... anyway made a donation as it's a great site and no doubt a huge amount of time goes into it

The 15% is optional. There’s a slider at the bottom that goes from zero to 100%. It’s set at 15% as a default.

£855 from £750 target.

Good showing from all & sundry

Yeah delighted, he's made the target so swiftly - and shows how much we Poolies appreciate his labour of love- well done all, who were able to donate. Keep up the good work Mad John!
