 As I've tried to explain many years ago as the copyright issue first came up. The cruise books, when first are printed there is no copyright. The issue is the company that scanned in contents and sell them on CD or DVDs. That is when the copyright is made. My impression is the user can't copy the pages from the disc to a computer file. One can't email the file after it's installed onto a pc. The information is in basic language and when writing this page for you to publish, the facts are the facts. I'm not a writer by profession and present facts in basic form. I've read through your information on copyrighting when the issue first came up. I was trying to comply with the issue at that time and raised this concern of the DVD being copyrighted by process not the original material. 18 Nov 2014.

Left you another message on Talk:Cbmu 302 Zell Faze (talk) 19:04, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've come across this issue due to it's listing at WP:CP. My first thought is that this may be in the public domain. Was the source book produced by employes of the US federal government (this includes the military) in the course of their duties? If so this will be in the public domain and not a copyright concern (see WP:PD#U.S. government works for a bit more on this).

I should add that even if the copyright issues are sorted it is possible that this article may be deleted for other reasons - specifically I'm concerned that the article in it's current state does not show the notability of the unit. I suggest you read the linked page and see what you want to do. Dpmuk (talk) 14:46, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Various US Navy units record events from a past cruise whether it's a ship, Aviation squadron. Unit members can purchase it. I've not purchases such memories in book form. I did purchase to two DVD's of CBMU-302 time in Vietnam from the Seabee Museum online. They offer many cruise books on DVDs from past units. I don't know who publishes them and when they are first available. Also I don't know if they are copyrighted from the start or later. This is my first try at writing a new article and all of these issues are a bit overwhelming. I consider myself a 'draft' writer not a 'finish' writer. I'm just trying to publish an article about an large Battalion that performed an important task passed down the President. I accept any and all assistance with this on this site.

Thanks[edit]

Hey, I don't know if you still edit or not, but I wanted to thank you for the time you had spent on the CBMU-302 article, even if it had some problems. I'm still trying to get those fixed up, but the article wasn't deleted. I just wanted to show my appreciation. Its a topic that likely would never have seen any coverage.
