The blessing and the curse of the Internet is its plasticity: it’s free & easy to mass–distribute your work —or anyone else’s, if you’re that kind of person.

Of course, there’s no guarantee, in any medium, that work won’t be plagiarized, but within these limitations here’s what NewGrapefruit does to honor and protect your ownership of the work you create:

•	We’re committed to protecting your privacy. If you provide us with your name, email address or other personal information, we will hold that information in the strictest confidence. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others.
•	We require that all site users participating in specific areas register with the site and sign a Conditions of Use Agreement.
•	We clearly post the DMCA Notice on our site. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") provides a mechanism for notifying service providers of claims of unauthorized use of copyrighted materials. See DMCA Notice for details.
•	We encourage you to copyright and/or watermark your original work in order to discourage plagiarism.

The bottom line is for you to consider whether sharing your work will help or hurt your objectives. If you want to retain 100% control over your artistic creation and need an iron–clad guarrantee it won’t be copied or modified, we don’t recommend posting it here or on any website.
