No law exists for copying where there is no money involved.

You can't bootleg my other services. Anyone can make any kind of website they want, only 2 rules to that: 1. host must allow the website, 2. must be legal. Secret Defender has gotten permission from the host @ sifen7 to be able to list everything in the Treasure Chest so if you find items you find offensive or don't like the Treasure Chest then leave in silence so others can enjoy it. I don't own any of the contents copyrights. Don't believe any of this page look it up yourself.
