Legal, Licensing, and Everything Else That Keeps Us Out of Trouble

1. Not Official. Not for Sale.

This is a fan site. No affiliation, endorsement, or partnership exists between this site and the creators, rights holders, or corporate parasites attached to The Rocky Horror Picture Show or anything else referenced here.

Nothing here is being sold.
No one is profiting.
And no, you can’t sue me for listing that callback you heard in Boise in 1998.

2. Privacy and Data

Here’s what I know, and here’s what I promise:

I’m not running any trackers.
I’m not using cookies (intentionally).
I’m not storing anything about you unless you fill out a submission form—and even then, it’s just what you typed, plus a timestamp.
No email addresses, no background sniffing, no selling of data, no AI farming.

If Namecheap, my host, logs IPs or traffic details... I haven’t looked into it. If I find out they’re doing anything creepy, I’ll put it here.

3. Mailing List

If you sign up for update emails, it’s:

Manual (yes, I’ll actually send them myself)
Optional
Unsubscribable
Not sold, rented, or shown to anyone else

You’ll only hear from me when something genuinely changes—no spam, no filler.

4. Submissions and Licensing

By submitting a callback or any other content to this site, you agree that:

Your submission is either your own work, or drawn from a community source you have the right to share.
You grant anyone the right to copy, adapt, modify, distribute, and build upon your submission—even for commercial use—as long as they follow the GNU Free Documentation License version 1.3 or later.
You understand that this means your submission becomes part of a shared creative commons—not a private stash.

Why GNU?

Because it means everyone can use this material, but you can't lock it up later and try to sell it behind a paywall. It’s the callback world equivalent of leaving a seat open at the orgy.

If you don’t want something to be reused, adapted, or reprinted later—don’t submit it.

5. Publishing & Profits (or Lack Thereof)

If anything from this site ends up published—digitally, in print, on toilet paper rolls—it will be under the same GNU license.

Here’s how that works:

Contributors will be credited however reasonably possible (within space and context).
Any proceeds will go:
- First, to cover publishing or production costs.
- Then, to Rocky-related community stuff (clubs, casts, charities).
I will not personally profit.

That said—if this site leads to future opportunities (writing gigs, design work, whatever), that’s mine to pursue.

Your goodwill isn’t being turned into my payday. But I also won’t pretend this site doesn’t belong on my resume.

6. Terms May Change

If the legal structure of this site changes in a meaningful way, here’s what I’ll do:

Update this page with a clear changelog
Announce the change via the email list (if you signed up)
Leave a reasonable grace period before applying any new rules retroactively

This isn’t a trap. If I change anything that affects your rights or submissions, I’ll make it obvious.

7. Final Word

This site is a labor of love, stress, caffeine, and fan tradition.
If you’re here in good faith, welcome. If you’re here looking to pick a legal fight over a callback line… go sing "Sweet Transvestite" in traffic.

That’s all. You may now return to the fun part.
