Writing HTML | Return to Lesson 29b |

Permission Request

As a courtesy, if you ever use video obtained from someone elses web site, we suggest that you write first to the person that created the site, explaining your intended use. For our lesson on adding MPEG movies, we located an appropriate example from a web site maintained by Flavio Dobran. We wrote an email message to which he kindly responded:

Date: Thu, 09 Sep 1999 21:19:34 -0400 (EDT)
From: dobran@idt.net (Flavio Dobran)
Subject: Re: Permission to Use movie clip
To: alan <alan.levine@domail.maricopa.edu>
 
OK Alan. You have my permission to use the simulation for educational purposes.

Sincrely,
F. Dobran
