How much of a "sex" warning necessary on articles?
Posted: Thu May 10, 2007 11:47 am
This is a weird question, I know.
I am working on a couple articles about weird animal laws and there is some reference to sex, alcohol, and smoking. I feel I should put a warning in my description, but I don't wish it to sound worse than it is.
I would consider the article PG. Some would probably rate it as PG-13.
It does have one sentence about humans having sex with animals (but, hey, I'm not the state that made it legal.)
That is as graphic as I get in the article.
Is including "Please note: this article does have brief references to sex, alcohol, and smoking." enough? Should I provide a "clean" copy for people? Can I give permission for those sections to be removed without needing them to purchase the full rights? Or am I being overly sensitive about this issue?
I guess I need to know where CC stands with this issue.
Thanks,
Darcy
