C.E.A.D. stands for Copyright Education Awareness and Development. Please help CILM "Plant the C.E.A.D". by promoting legal tags and licensing. Use the tag above on your emails, in your groups on your websites wherever you would like to "Plant the C.E.A.D".

You can also help "Plant the C.E.A.D." by visiting our NEW Social Network Graphics Website:

CILM Snags-N-Tags http://www.cilmsnagsntags.com

CILM's new social network graphics website is geared toward MySpace and other social network groups and users. The difference between our site and other social network graphics sites is that we have the legal means to bring a site like this to the community that encourages legal copyright graphics usage. Our new website will encourage other graphics websites to become more copyright compliant as well as giving the PSP hobby more exposure. We have copyright credits on our site to all of our artists and standard credit given to all of our tag creators, all tutorial creators and any stock photography sites that were used. Please note that this is a FREE site and none of the tags are for sale nor were these tags "purchased" from the people that made them.

CILM has also developed a new sponsorship program that will be aided by this new website.

The NEW CILM PSP Sponsorship Program

We have designed this program to help PSPers get free packages that they can use to have more fun designing and creating in their groups while still providing the artists compensation for the usage of their work. It does not matter whether someone is already licensed or not. Everyone is eligible for this program. Our goal is to help anyone that might not have very good things happening in their lives at any given moment. Maybe their finances aren't allowing them to purchase packs right now or a family member passed away, an illness or disability of some kind has affected their life or something extraordinary is going on with them that is keeping them from enjoying their hobby.

Here is how the Sponsorship Program works:

Beginning December 1, 2007, CILM will sponsor at least 20 people every month to receive a new license and a package of their choice from us. These 20 people will be nominated by you, their fellow PSPers. Since this program is new we have no idea how many people we will be able to sponsor on a monthly basis. We are allowing 20 people per month as a minimum, however, we will sponsor as many people as our funds will allow in any given month. Our artists will receive their normal compensation for all of these packages.

Here is how you can nominate someone for sponsorship:

Please send an email to:

CILM_SponsorMe@cilm.com

You will need to include the following information in your email:

Your name, Your CILM license number if you have one (you do not need to be a CILM license holder in order to nominate someone), the name of the person you would like to nominate, their email address and a reason for your nomination of this person. The person being nominated by you CAN BE a CILM license holder however please do not take advantage of this program. We ask that you choose your nominees carefully. If you nominate someone that already has a CILM license number please try to include their license number in your email to us.

The same person can be nominated over and over again however they will only receive one package per month no matter how many nominations we receive for them in any given month.

***Please know that all information received about nominees will be kept strictly confidential.***

We understand that any information you provide to us may be very personal and or sensitive in nature. Your personal privacy and trust in us and the privacy of the people who are being nominated are of the most important concern to us. The person receiving sponsorship will not be told who nominated them or why. Only Anthony and Michelle Guerra will have access to the emails that are received for the sponsorship program. Other staff members may be sending out the packages to the intended recipients however these staff members will not be given any information other than "who" is to receive "what".

Sponsorship packages will be distributed via email on the last Sunday of every month beginning in December.

Simple as that!

If at any time you have questions about this program, our website or our funding please feel free to contact us at the CILM_sponsorME email addy above or call us at our toll free number 877-264-2456 and dial extension 4.

CILM is committed to making a difference in the PSP community by bringing artists, graphic hobbyists and the general internet public together by promoting legal copyrights throughout the World Wide Web. We hope our new copyright campaign, website and sponsorship program will help us accomplish that goal.

So go "Plant the C.E.A.D." along with CILM, go snag some tags for your MySpace page and make someone's day by nominating them for our sponsorship program.

Thanks and Smiles to Everyone
