Please stick to the following format:

Summarizing factual statement that is devoid of free culture bias and opinion. About 1-3 sentences long.

Quote. Try to keep it to 1-3 paragraphs. Shorter is better.

Your personal statement and opinion on the matter (keep it short and sweet).

  • Link 2
  • Link 3

Please upload images (it makes it look pretty!) with the largest dimension being no greater than 250 pixels, but do not embed video or audio that requires Flash or proprietary and/or patent-encumbered codecs. Images larger than 250 pixels in any one dimmention should be used only if a smaller image would not convey enough detail, in which case they should be centered above the story. Give credit in the following or similar manner: <title> – Credit: <name or pseudonym> (<license information or public domain statement>). Images should be under a Freedom Defined license or be in the public domain. Non-free and semi-free images may be used under fair use only if a free image is unsuitable for the story. It is recommended, albeit optional, that you provide a link back to the original source image, so that others may use it. Please do not hotlink to images outside of this site, as they tend to disappear over time and the practice is frowned upon by some site administrators.

Please do not use the new HTML 5 <audio> and <video> tags until the site is changed over to XHTML 5.
