Terms of use

 

I believe in the magic powers of the internet, and I believe in sharing, but I also believe in some sort of restriction. I wrote a blog post about my thoughts about copyright, you can find it here if you want to read about why sushibird is licensed the way it is. Below follows a description on what you can and can not do with the various kinds of  pictures from sushibird.com
