Others who have shared with NDERF have personally copyrighted their experiences in addition to copyrighting their experiences on NDERF. NDERF does not give legal advice. Hundreds of people have contacted us to get permission to use the experiences posted on NDERF for their own books or in other media. NDERF does NOT contact experiencers for these purposes.
