    Copying and pasting biographies and other information is a violation of United States copyright laws and so is using photo without photographers permission for that matter.  You may want to be a little more careful with this site.

If at anytime a gymnast, or person in Gympedia would like to have their entry removed, I would do so imediately. Some of the biographys are taken from gymnasts sites, but I don't feel it hurts any gymnast to use their bio. We're only looking to spotlight, and educate some that maybe new.

The photos we use we either don't know who the photographer is, or have contacted them to use them. Again if a photographer sees a photo of his/hers, we would be happy to give credit/link, or remove.

The purpose of GymnasticsMedia is not to "steal" other people's work, but to spotlight other sites, information, and generally support a sport that is OFTEN overlooked, or not given it's due credit.
