Line 43:
Please note that there is no amount of meaningful text "too small" to qualify as copyright violation. If it can be identified as originating from TV Tropes, it is a violation. Yes, this means something as small as replacing an image caption with one from TV Tropes counts. If there is any doubt or uncertainty about the attribution of a change, we will ''automatically'' err on the side of caution, to protect All The Tropes from legal liability.
Finally, be aware that there is ''no excuse'' for plagiarism/copyright violation. Saying "I didn't know", "I didn't mean it", "I don't remember doing that" or the incredibly unlikely "I did it by accident" will ''not'' absolve you of your responsibility for violating the law and putting the wiki at risk, ''especially'' if it's not your first offense. The only thing such a claim will net you is a roll of the eyes from whichever administrator is handling your violation.<ref>We've actually had former users whose entire defense boiled down to "I'm too immature, stupid and/or ignorant to be held responsible for my acts of copyright violation". To which our response was, "Then you are too immature, stupid and/or ignorant to allow on the wiki."</ref>
