Neat Way to Help the Homeless..

Country Crock has a website. And if you post a story of sharing, they will donate to Second Harvest...one of the big charities serving the poor and homeless.

    This is a wonderful idea, and I had something all ready to send. Then I read their Assignment of Rights, which includes the following:

    "You also release all rights in and to any claim of copyright, trademark, trade dress, or other intellectual property or other rights, royalties, commission or any payment whatsoever in connection with the Use of your name, likeness, biographical material and/or story. "

    Sigh.

    Oh, well -- It was an interesting exercise cutting down a story I'd already posted in my blog to one-third the size, to meet the 500-character maximum.

    Thank you for posting the Second Harvest URL as well, so that people can make a donation directly.

      sorry about the rights thing...

      should have read it more closely

      well, you know what Shakespeare said, "kill all the lawyers"

        That's okay. I posted info here that I'd gotten from TriggerStreet (which I've never used, myself), and it turns out they've got the same kind of gig going.
