Key Elements of the Disclaimer Explained:
Non-Affiliation: The first paragraph immediately clarifies that you are not an official source. This is crucial for avoiding any legal claims that your blog might be impersonating the official organization.
Purpose: It states that the blog is for fan discussion and commentary. In many legal systems, including Vietnam, this falls under a form of “fair use” or “exceptions to copyright,” where copyrighted material can be used for purposes like criticism, news reporting, and commentary without explicit permission.
Copyright & Fair Use: This is the most important section.
It acknowledges that all official media is owned by its creators.
It explicitly states that you are using the material under a “fair use” claim. This is a common legal defense in many countries, and while not a guaranteed shield, it shows your intent.
It provides a clear and easy way for copyright holders to contact you. This demonstrates good faith and can help resolve issues before they escalate.
Non-Profit Status: Mentioning that your blog is not for commercial gain (if that is the case) can be a mitigating factor in some copyright disputes.
User-Generated Content: This protects you from legal liability for things your readers might post in the comments section. It places the responsibility on the users themselves.
This disclaimer, while not a substitute for legal advice, is a strong, professional statement that clearly defines your blog’s purpose and your respectful approach to intellectual property.
